The bill amends Sections 17-3-2, 17-3-5, and 17-3-8 of the Code of Alabama 1975, focusing on the qualifications and operational structure of the boards of registrars. Key changes include replacing the term "persons" with "individuals" in the appointment process and requiring the state board of appointment to consider the racial, gender, urban, rural, and economic diversity of the county when making appointments after October 1, 2025. The qualifications for registrars have been expanded to include excellent communication skills, proficiency in data processing, and the ability to operate office equipment, while the previous requirement for minimum computer and map reading skills has been removed. Additionally, the daily salary for registrars is increased from $80 to $115, and the reimbursement process for travel expenses is clarified.

The bill also modifies the working days allowed for registrars in various counties, establishing specific maximum working days for registrars in counties such as Dale, Franklin, and Tuscaloosa, among others. It allows registrars in Lawrence County to have 60 additional working days funded by the county commission. Furthermore, it mandates that registrars be open during the same hours as the county courthouse or establish regular hours for public access, ensuring that a registrar or staff member is present during these hours. The previous legal language regarding the funding of additional working days for Lawrence County has been deleted, and the bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
