The bill aims to extend the existence of the State Board of Genetic Counseling in Alabama until October 1, 2027, as recommended by the Sunset Committee. It amends Section 34-13A-3 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to ensure that board members are appointed from each congressional district in the state, with any remaining members being appointed at-large. This change is intended to enhance the representation and diversity of the board, reflecting the state's demographic makeup.

Key modifications include the requirement that, starting June 1, 2025, one member must reside in and be appointed from each congressional district, while the remaining members will be appointed from the state at-large. Additionally, the language in the bill replaces "this" with "the" to clarify the reference to the state. The bill also maintains provisions for board member appointments, terms, and participation in meetings, ensuring that members can engage in meetings through various communication methods, except for disciplinary actions, which must be conducted in person.
