Department of Revenue; Alabama Certified Licensing Administrators added to list of tax professionals compensated annually for completing professional training

HB 378 adds Alabama Certified Licensing Administrators to a list of tax professionals who receive an annual $1,200 payment from the Alabama Department of Revenue. This payment is provided to individuals who successfully complete the department's Professional Education and Training Program and hold the "Alabama Certified Licensing Administrator" designation. The bill amends existing law (Section 40-1-46) to include this new certification category under the current compensation structure. The change would take effect on October 1, 2026, for those meeting the certification requirements.
