Summary: SB382 puts the Alabama Construction Recruitment Institute under sunset review and keeps the construction craft industry fees in place by removing expiration.
What This Bill Does
It subjects the Institute to the Alabama Sunset Law, setting a termination date of October 1, 2014 and then every four years after that unless the legislature renews it. It amends the law to keep collecting construction craft industry fees and repeals previous provisions that had set an expiration for those fees. The act becomes effective immediately upon passage and governor's approval, and it repeals conflicting laws related to the prior expiration.

Who It Affects
Alabama Construction Recruitment Institute — now required to undergo sunset review and potentially be renewed or terminated on a four-year cycle.
Construction craft industry fee payers (employers and workers in the construction sector) — fees collected to support the institute will continue without an automatic expiration.

Key Provisions

Section 2: Section 7 of Act 2009-561 is amended to keep construction craft industry fee collection in place and to specify the act becomes effective after passage and governor approval (and SB301).
