Title

Craft Training Board, members, terms and term limits, bd reappointed, Sec. 41-4-412 am'd.

Summary

HB 230 would let Craft Training Board members serve additional terms and require their terms to be staggered.

What This Bill Does

The bill would amend Section 41-4-412 to allow Craft Training Board members to be appointed for more than a single term. It would create a staggered term structure so not all members’ terms end at the same time, improving continuity. The governor still appoints members from industry lists, and the board would continue to oversee the Craft Training Fund and related programs.

Who It Affects

• Current and future Craft Training Board members, who could be reappointed for additional terms and would have staggered term expirations.
• Construction industry employers, associations, and workers involved in the Alabama Construction Industry Craft Training Program, who benefit from more stable, continuous board leadership and governance of the training funding and programs.

Key Provisions

• Authorizes board members to be appointed for additional terms beyond a single term.
• Implements a staggered term system so not all terms expire simultaneously, with initial staggered terms (1-year, 2-year, and 3-year terms) and then three-year terms for subsequent appointments.
• Maintains the existing governance framework, including the governor’s appointment process from industry groups and the board’s authority over curricular development, grant processes, and management of the Craft Training Fund.
