Title

Composition of Alabama Job Creation and Military Stability Commission

Summary

HB260 would add two chairs of key legislative committees as members of the Alabama Job Creation and Military Stability Commission, expanding its membership.

What This Bill Does

The bill adds the chairs of the House Military and Veterans Affairs Committee and the Senate Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public Safety Committee as commission members, increasing the board size. This brings more legislative input to the Commission while preserving its existing structure (a chair, two vice chairs, and other current members). The new members would participate in meetings and receive standard legislative compensation and travel expenses, and appointing authorities must ensure diverse representation; the act becomes effective October 1, 2025.
