This bill proposes the abolition of the Southeast Alabama Human Development Council, as established under Section 45-34-83 of the Code of Alabama 1975. The bill includes the insertion of new legal language that designates the Alabama Department of Youth Services to assume the duties previously held by the council. Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section that establishes the council, effectively removing it from the legal framework.

The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025, marking a significant change in the governance and administration of human development services in Southeast Alabama. The repeal of Section 45-34-83 and the transfer of responsibilities to the Alabama Department of Youth Services aim to streamline operations and enhance service delivery in the region.
