Gorgas Memorial Board, statute repealed, Sec. 41-9-220 repealed

Summary

HB152 would repeal the statute that created and authorized the Gorgas Memorial Board to manage the Gorgas Home.

What This Bill Does

The bill repeals Section 41-9-220 of the Alabama Code, which established the Gorgas Memorial Board and required its actions to have the consent of the University of Alabama Board of Trustees. If passed, there would be no statutory basis for the Gorgas Memorial Board, and the arrangement for managing the Gorgas Home under that board would be removed. The act would take effect immediately after the Governor signs it into law.

Who It Affects

• Gorgas Memorial Board: loses its statutory creation and authority to manage the Gorgas Home.
• University of Alabama Board of Trustees: the requirement for their consent to the Gorgas Memorial Board’s actions would be removed (the consent provision would no longer be in effect).

Key Provisions

• Effective date: immediately after passage and approval by the Governor.
