HB 111 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Sunset Law; Home Builders Licensure Board continued with modification until October 1, 2029

HB 111 extends the operation of Alabama's Home Builders Licensure Board until October 1, 2029, under the state's Sunset Law. It modifies the board's membership rules to require that one member reside in and be appointed from each of Alabama's congressional districts starting June 1, 2025, with any remaining members appointed statewide. This change aims to ensure geographic representation on the board, which regulates residential home building and construction. The bill directly affects the board's composition and the residential construction industry, which it oversees through licensing and regulation.

MINOR

The bill was finalized as 'Enrolled' after passing both legislative chambers. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a new requirement that, starting June 1, 2025, at least one Home Builders Licensure Board member must reside in and be appointed from each congressional district, with the remaining members appointed from the state at-large. This shifts the board's composition from a purely statewide appointment system to one that ensures geographic representation across the state's districts.

Scope change

The scope of the board's membership requirements changed to include a mandate for geographic representation by congressional district, whereas the previous version did not specify district-based appointments.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new requirement that board members must be appointed from specific congressional districts starting June 1, 2025, to ensure geographic diversity in board representation.
