Bill > HB82

This bill revises the qualifications, compensation, and operational guidelines for county Boards of Registrars in Alabama, with several key changes. Starting October 1, 2025, registrars must now meet more comprehensive professional requirements, including possessing a high school diploma, demonstrating excellent communication skills, having intermediate computer proficiency, and ability to operate office equipment. The bill increases registrar daily compensation from $80 to $150 per day and requires the state board of appointment to consider racial, gender, urban, rural, and economic diversity when making appointments. The legislation also specifies that registrars cannot hold elective office during their term and mandates that on designated working days, boards must be open during courthouse hours with a registrar or staff member present. Additionally, the bill provides provisions for registrars who have served at least 16 years to potentially participate in county health insurance programs and clarifies the maximum number of working days for registrars in various Alabama counties. These changes aim to professionalize and standardize the operations of county Boards of Registrars across the state.
