Title: Advisory Board of Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission, providing further, Sec. 24-6-3 am'd.
Summary: HB381 changes the advisory board for the Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission to have nine members nominated from the Alabama Manufactured Housing Institute Association and reduces meetings from four to two per year.
What This Bill Does
If enacted, the bill sets a new structure for the advisory board: three industry seats chosen from nine nominees submitted by the Alabama Manufactured Housing Institute Association (two manufacturers and one retailer), three consumer representatives from the general public, and three government representatives (local government, House, and Senate members). It also changes the meeting frequency to twice per year and includes rules on term lengths, conflicts of interest, and per diem for members.

Who It Affects
Industry professionals in the Alabama manufactured housing sector (manufacturers and retailers) who would fill three industry seats from association nominees, with specified representation and term lengths.
Consumers, general public, and government officials who serve on the advisory board (three consumer representatives and three governmental representatives), with eligibility rules, district-based appointments, and conflict-of-interest provisions.
