FISCAL NOTE
Senate Bill 288
Committee: County & Municipal GovernmentSponsor: Senator Sam Givhan
Analyst: Jennifer Farish Date: 04/10/2024
Senate Bill 288 as reported by the Committee on County and Municipal Government would
increase the obligations of the Alabama Home Builder Licensure Board by an undetermined
amount dependent on the cost to: 1) adopt a statewide residential building code (the Alabama
Residential Building Code); and 2) create the Alabama Residential Building Code Division
within the board, which may employ staff, provide funding to local jurisdictions, and apply for
funding from other sources. These obligations may be offset by any funding received by the
Alabama Residential Building Code Fund, created by this bill within the State Treasury and
administered by the board, to be used for administration of the division and enforcement of the
code. This bill would further require the unencumbered year-end balance of the fund, in excess
of 25% of the amount appropriated for the fiscal year, to revert to the State General Fund.
