HB 119 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Sunset Law; Alabama Licensure Board for Interpreters and Transliterators continued with modification until October 1, 2027

HB 119 continues the existence and functioning of the Alabama Licensure Board for Interpreters and Transliterators until October 1, 2027. This directly affects the board and the professionals it regulates in Alabama. The bill also modifies the board's composition by requiring that, as terms expire starting June 1, 2025, one board member must reside in and be appointed from each congressional district, with other members appointed from the state at-large. This ensures the board's continued operation with updated geographic representation.
