HB 131 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Sunset Law; Alabama Board of Athletic Trainers continued with modification until 2027

HB 131 continues the Alabama Board of Athletic Trainers, which regulates athletic trainers within the state. The bill extends the board's existence until October 1, 2027, following a review by the Alabama Sunset Committee. It also modifies the board's composition, requiring that, starting June 1, 2025, one member must be appointed from each congressional district, with any remaining members appointed from the state at-large. This change aims to ensure broader geographic representation on the board.

What changed between versions

Engrossed Enrolled · 5 edits · Apr 17, 2025
MODERATE
The bill text was converted from the 'Engrossed' version to the 'Enrolled' version, which is the final form signed into law. The substantive policy content, including the sunset date of October 1, 2027, and the new requirements for board member residency and diversity, remains unchanged. The primary differences are formatting adjustments, the addition of certification signatures from the Clerk and Presiding Officers, and the removal of legislative history notes.
TECHNICAL

The document title was updated from 'HB131 Engrossed' to 'HB131 Enrolled' to reflect its status as the final enrolled bill ready for the Governor's signature.

The bill number in the header was updated from 'MDVLHWW-2' to 'MDVLHWW-3', likely reflecting a final revision or printing sequence.

Signatures and certification blocks for the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Clerk were added to formally certify the bill's passage by both chambers.

Legislative history notes, such as dates the bill was read for the first and second time and referral to committees, were removed as these are no longer relevant to the final enrolled text.

Page headers and footers were adjusted to reflect the transition from the working 'Engrossed' version to the final 'Enrolled' version.
