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 from the state at-large. This change is intended to enhance the representation and diversity of the board, reflecting the state's demographic makeup.

Additionally, the bill includes several provisions regarding the appointment and terms of board members, stating that members appointed by the Governor will serve two-year terms, while other members will serve until replaced. It also allows for remote participation in meetings, with the exception of disciplinary actions, which must be attended in person. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025, and includes a deletion of the term "this" in favor of "the" to clarify the language regarding the state's diversity.
