Title

House of Representatives, Consent Calendar

Summary

The bill creates a House Consent Calendar for Alabama and places two bills (HB74 and HB204) on it for quick, non-amendable consideration.

What This Bill Does

It sets up a Consent Calendar process in the Alabama House of Representatives so certain bills can be considered without amendments, substitutions, debates, or carryover. Members can object by the 11th legislative day. The two listed bills would be included: HB74 would let Vietnam War veterans who did not receive a high school diploma because of service obtain a diploma, with criteria and guidelines to be set by the State Board of Education; HB204 would allow redaction of Social Security numbers and birth dates from marriage licenses and other public documents, with the probate judge authorized to redact or make illegible.

Who It Affects

• Vietnam War veterans who were honorably discharged and did not receive a high school diploma due to service; their eligibility for a diploma would be determined by criteria developed by the State Board of Education (HB74).
• People with marriage licenses and other public records that include Social Security numbers and birth dates; probate judges and others involved in recording/public documentation would be authorized to redact or make these details illegible (HB204).
