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 for appointing members, their terms, and the commission's operational procedures.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for the commission's governance, such as the election of officers, quorum requirements, and the Secretary of State's responsibilities in maintaining records and publishing an annual register of registered agents. It also stipulates that commission members, who are not reimbursed by public funds, will receive compensation for their service. 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 take effect on June 1, 2025.
