AI Summary

  • Amends Section 36-25-13 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to exempt state certified water and waste water treatment plant operators from the "revolving door" provisions of the State Ethics Law.

  • Exemption applies to operators whether or not they retired from positions of authority, provided their reemployment is deemed beneficial by their previous employer.

  • Reemployment of exempt operators must be approved by the governing body of the water or waste water system, city council, county commission, water works board, or sewer board.

  • The exemption allows these operators to be rehired without triggering the standard two-year prohibition that otherwise prevents former public employees from working with their previous governmental agency.

  • Effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor.
