SB 286 Alabama Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Alabama Film Office, director appointment process revised

This bill transfers the authority to appoint the director of the Alabama Film Office and set their salary from the Governor to the Secretary of the Department of Commerce. By making this change, the legislation also clarifies that the Department of Commerce is the specific agency responsible for administering film incentive programs. The primary effect is to shift administrative control over the film office's leadership and compensation to a state department rather than the executive branch.
