State Pilotage Commission; statewide laws repealed

SB 89 repeals Alabama's statewide laws governing the State Pilotage Commission and bar pilot licensing requirements, specifically removing Sections 33-4-1 through 33-4-14 and 33-4-30 through 33-4-57 of the Code. This affects bar pilots statewide who previously required state licensing under these rules, but it does not impact pilotage commissions in Class 2 municipalities. The bill eliminates the state-level regulatory framework for bar pilots while preserving municipal-level commissions. It becomes effective June 1, 2026.
