Summary

A House resolution sets a special order of business to extend sunset reviews for a wide range of Alabama professional licensing boards and commissions.

What This Bill Does

It designates the listed items (HB104–HB124) as the special and priority business for the 4th legislative day. It extends the Sunset Law reviews for numerous licensing boards, with most extensions lasting until October 1, 2021 (some earlier or with modifications), and notes specific boards that are continued with modification. The measure keeps these boards operating and subject to review without lapsing while the extensions are in place.

Who It Affects

• Licensed professionals and their governing boards (e.g., geologists, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, elevator inspectors, manufactured housing professionals, nursing home administrators, physical therapists, hearing instrument dealers, chiropractors, interpreters, optometrists, veterinarians, athletic trainers, speech-language pathologists/audiologists, interior designers, behavior analysts, medical examiners, marriage/family therapists, podiatrists, and home builders) whose sunset reviews are extended.
• The general public in Alabama who relies on these regulatory boards for licensure, oversight, and consumer protection, by ensuring continuous regulation and renewed review timelines instead of licensure lapses.
