The bill amends Section 8-26B-30 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which pertains to the Alabama Athlete Agents Commission. A significant change is the authorization for the Secretary of State to designate an individual to serve in their place on the commission, replacing the previous requirement for the Secretary of State to serve personally. Additionally, the bill updates the language to reflect current standards, including changing the term "persons" to "individuals" and removing the term "urban/rural" in favor of just "urban." The bill also clarifies that all appointed members must be U.S. citizens and Alabama residents, and it maintains the structure of the commission, which includes various appointed members from state institutions and organizations.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the responsibilities and procedures for the commission, including the election of officers, the requirement for members to take an oath, and the commission's authority to adopt rules and standards for athlete agents. It also stipulates compensation for members not reimbursed by public funds and confirms that the commission is subject to the Alabama Sunset Law, with a termination date set for October 1, 2019, and every four years thereafter unless continued. The act is set to become effective on June 1, 2025.
