Bill > SB128

This bill continues the Alabama Sickle Cell Oversight and Regulatory Commission until October 1, 2030, as recommended by the Sunset Committee, which reviews state agencies to determine if they should continue to exist. The bill modifies how the commission operates by establishing it as a division within the Alabama Department of Public Health starting October 1, 2026, with the department providing all necessary administrative services like financial, legal, and staffing support. The commission will retain its existing structure for appointing members, but the bill clarifies that appointees must be residents of Alabama and specifies that the Senate or its committee can reject appointments, and it also updates the name of one appointing institution from "University of Alabama-Birmingham" to "University of Alabama at Birmingham." Additionally, the bill repeals a section of existing law related to the commission and makes changes to how contracts for administrative services can be made before the transition to the Department of Public Health.
