The bill amends Section 8-26B-30 of the Code of Alabama 1975, concerning 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 "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, with a term of three years and eligibility for reappointment.

Other provisions include the requirement for commission members to take an oath, the Governor's authority to remove members for neglect or just cause, and the commission's ability to adopt rules and standards of conduct for athlete agents. The bill also stipulates compensation for commission members who are not reimbursed by public funds and establishes that the commission is subject to the Alabama Sunset Law, with a termination date of October 1, 2019, and every four years thereafter unless continued. The act is set to become effective on June 1, 2025.
