The House State Government Committee passed HB407 on Wednesday, a bill that would designate Miss Alabama as an official state ambassador for Alabama during her term of service.
The bill, sponsored by State Rep. Susan DuBose (R-Hoover), would create an honorary, unpaid role allowing Miss Alabama to represent the state at ceremonial, educational, civic, tourism, and economic development events upon invitation from state agencies.
“They are talented. They are intelligent, they’re poised, they’re articulate, and they have a heart for service,” DuBose said of Miss Alabama titleholders during committee remarks. “Each one of them has to have a platform for a philanthropy or a service project.”
DuBose noted that serving as Miss Alabama is a full-time role during which the titleholder cannot attend school or work, making the partnership mutually beneficial for the state and the organization.
