The bill proposes the repeal of Article 7 of Chapter 47 of Title 16 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which establishes and provides for the School of Social Work of Alabama. Specifically, it targets Section 16-47-170 and removes the legal framework that governs the School of Social Work, effectively discontinuing its operations and any associated provisions.
The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, allowing for a transition period before the repeal is fully implemented. The bill has passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate, with the House originating the act on January 29, 2026, and the Senate passing it on April 1, 2026.
