Title

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

Summary

SB 205 would allow Craft Training Board members to serve additional terms and require their terms to be staggered so not all expire at the same time.

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 41-4-412 to change how long Craft Training Board members can serve. It allows members to be appointed for more than one term. It creates a staggered schedule so term expirations occur at different times, starting with terms set in 2018. It preserves the seven-member board and its governance roles over the Craft Training Fund, curricula, and grants, to support craft training in Alabama.

Who It Affects

• Craft Training Board members and the Governor-appointed industry groups that nominate them – they would be eligible for additional terms and their terms would be staggered to avoid all expirations at the same time.
• Alabama construction industry workers, students, and educational institutions involved in craft training programs – they would benefit from more stable, continuous governance, curriculum development, and funding decisions for craft training.

Key Provisions

• Authorizes Craft Training Board members to be appointed for additional terms beyond a single three-year term.
• Implements a transitional staggered-term schedule beginning October 16, 2018: two members with one-year terms, two members with two-year terms, and three members with three-year terms.
• After the transition, future appointments are three-year terms.
• Keeps a seven-member board appointed by the Governor from specified industry groups and retains the board's authority over the Craft Training Fund, including curricula development, guidelines, fund disbursement, and grants.
