Alabama Office of Minority Affairs; renamed to the Alabama Office of Civic Engagement

HB 295 would rename Alabama's "Office of Minority Affairs" to the "Office of Civic Engagement" in state law. The bill makes minor updates to related statutes to reflect this name change, such as altering references in sections about the office's structure and advisory committee. The office's existing mission - advising the governor on issues affecting minorities, including women, in areas like education, health, and economic opportunity - remains unchanged. Current employees transferring to the renamed office as of October 1, 2026, would retain their compensation and benefits without interruption.
