The State of Alabama Department of Examiners of Public Accounts has issued several reports on the state's boards and commissions as well as an updated report on Minority Representation in Authorities, Boards and Commissions. An observation for several boards is that a provision in their licensing laws requiring that applicants must be United States citizens may be unconstitutional. The State Pilotage Commission further requires that its applicants must be Alabama citizens. Additional observations include that a public position created on the Board of Public Accountancy has never been filled; the statutory deadline for licensure of court reporters was not met and there is no workable deadline after which practice without a license is an offense; failure of the Board of Funeral Service to use electronic technology limits its ability; and there is no education or experience prerequisite for certification by the Board of Heating and Air Conditioning Contractors.
