Alabama ends pilot commission and pilot rules

Beginning June 1, 2026, Alabama repeals the laws creating its State Pilotage Commission and setting requirements for bar pilots. The repeal covers Alabama Code Sections 33-4-1 through 33-4-14 and 33-4-30 through 33-4-57. Those laws remain in force until that date. This law creates no replacement rules or agency and provides no transition plan. It does not specify a direct change to household payments or benefits.
