Title: Oil and Gas Board, State, Sunset Law review, remove board from sunset review process
Summary: SB 134 keeps the State Oil and Gas Board in operation but removes it from Alabama's sunset review process.
What This Bill Does
The bill continues the existence and functions of the State Oil and Gas Board. It removes the Board from the Alabama Sunset Law review, so it will not be evaluated for continuation or termination through the sunset process. It preserves the current statutes that establish and govern the Board. It becomes effective immediately upon the Governor's signature.

Who It Affects
State Oil and Gas Board — will continue to exist and operate, and will be exempt from sunset review.
Alabama Sunset Committee and Legislature — will no longer review the Board under the Sunset Law, ending that process for this agency.

Key Provisions
Section 2 continues the existence and functioning of the State Oil and Gas Board and expressly preserves the related code sections.
Section 3 removes the State Oil and Gas Board from Sunset Law review, making it not subject to review as an enumerated agency (effective on the act's effective date).
