Summary

Session

Regular Session 2010

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

This House resolution designates a special, top-priority calendar for the 6th legislative day, listing nine bills to be considered before other business.

What This Bill Does

It immediately makes the nine listed bills the special and paramount order of business for that day, taking precedence over the regular or any pending work. It does not pass or enact the bills itself; it only changes the order in which they are considered. If the bills are ultimately approved, they would become law, but the resolution only governs their scheduling on that specific day.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House of Representatives and staff, who will handle the special-order day and process the nine listed bills
• Educators, school administrators, and students, particularly concerning HB43 and HB79 related to foundation programs and education governance
• Families and grandparents, due to HB32 addressing grandparent visitation considerations
• Election officials and voters, due to HB120 about appointing alternate election officers and related procedures
• Public safety and offenders, due to HB211 (litter enforcement) and HB259 (adult offender supervision) provisions
• Drivers, bus operators, hunters, and licensees, due to HB205 (bus size/operational changes) and HB302 (hunting license rules)
