The bill aims to extend the existence of the Home Builders Licensure Board in Alabama until October 1, 2029, as recommended by the Sunset Committee. It amends Section 34-14A-3 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to establish new requirements for board membership. Specifically, the bill mandates that starting June 1, 2025, one member must reside in and be appointed from each congressional district in the state, with any remaining members appointed at-large. The board will consist of nine members, including seven residential home builders, one building official or inspector, and one consumer member, all of whom must be residents of Alabama.

Additionally, the bill modifies the language regarding board member qualifications, replacing "citizen" with "resident" and ensuring that the board's composition reflects the state's diversity in terms of race, gender, geography, and economic status. The initial terms for board members will vary from one to three years, with subsequent terms set at three years. The appointing authorities are required to fill any vacancies from a list of qualified individuals provided by the Home Builders Association of Alabama.
