Skillful maneuvering by the SubAla team allowed for successful passage of SB233 by Sen. Bussman.  SB233 requires the General Contractor's licensing board to have at least one member who performs a majority of his construction work as a subcontractor.

As predicated the giant budget shortfall has caused gambling, taxes and a potential compact with the Poarch Creek Band of Indians to create a log jam in the legislature.  Filibusters resulted in a flood of bills eligible for final passage and powerful associations clambered to get their bills on the special order calendar. SubAla anticipated these complications and lobbied hard to land a spot on the coveted consent calendar.  Our SB233 passed the House with a vote of 85-0 and is the first construction related bill to receive final passage.  It is also one of the few bills not dealing with economic development to pass this session.



We would like to extend a special thanks to both Sen. Bussman and Rep. Butler for carrying the bill. Both gentlemen have become great advocates for SubAla and subcontractors around the state.
