Bill > HB111

This bill extends the existence of the Home Builders Licensure Board until October 1, 2029, and modifies its composition and appointment process. The board will continue to regulate the residential home building and construction industry, with nine members appointed equally by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House of Representatives. Starting June 1, 2025, the board will be restructured to ensure geographic representation, with members appointed from each congressional district and some appointed at-large. Seven members must be residential home builders with at least five years of experience, one member must be a building official or inspector, and one member must be a consumer with no industry affiliation. The bill also emphasizes that board membership should reflect the state's racial, gender, urban, rural, and economic diversity. Board members will serve three-year terms, with initial members having staggered one-, two-, and three-year terms. Vacancies will be filled by the respective appointing authority from a list of three qualified individuals provided by the Home Builders Association of Alabama. The bill aims to ensure continued oversight of the home building industry while promoting more inclusive representation.
