SB 88 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Division of Construction Management; capital improvement projects valued less than $750,000 at covered K-12 and higher education institutions exempted from division inspections and recommendations

SB 88 exempts Alabama's K-12 schools and public higher education institutions from requiring inspections and recommendations by the Division of Construction Management for capital improvement projects valued under $750,000. Currently, these institutions must still submit projects for ADA and fire/safety inspections even if under $750,000, but the bill would eliminate all such inspection requirements for small projects. This change would reduce administrative steps for schools and institutions on minor construction work like repairs or upgrades. The bill also includes minor technical updates to align the state code with current formatting.
