Currently, the Alabama Residential Energy Code Board serves in an advisory capacity to the Science, Technology, and Energy Division of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs.

Currently, local units of government are encouraged to adopt the Model Energy Code. This bill would replace the Model Energy Code with the Alabama Energy and Residential Codes (codes), and require the board, as the sole authority, to adopt, amend, and revise the codes and to comply with federal energy and building guidelines. Farm structures would be exempt from the codes requirements. Additional members would be added to the board and board service would be limited to 10 consecutive years. Board membership would be inclusive and represent diversity, and board meetings would be subject to the Alabama Open Meetings Act.
