The bill designates the titleholder of Miss Alabama as an "Official State Ambassador" for the State of Alabama, establishing her role as an honorary representative to promote goodwill and civic engagement during her annual term. The bill outlines the duties of the Official State Ambassador, which include representing Alabama at various events, promoting the state's culture and initiatives, encouraging volunteerism, and serving as a goodwill representative at national or international events. The designation of Official State Ambassador is limited to the duration of the individual's term as Miss Alabama and automatically transfers to the new titleholder upon selection.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that participation in activities as an Official State Ambassador is voluntary and does not authorize any form of compensation or policymaking authority. State agencies may coordinate with the Official State Ambassador for outreach and public engagement, but they are not required to do so. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2026. The new legal language includes the insertion of "Enrolled" and the date of Senate passage, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
