HR445 Alabama 2017 Session

Summary

Session

Regular Session 2017

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

HR445 creates a Special Order Calendar to fast-track two bills (HB574 and HB571) on the 25th day and keep them before other business until they’re resolved.

What This Bill Does

It immediately designates HB574 and HB571 as the special and paramount order of business for the 25th legislative day, taking precedence over regular business (except first readings and committee reports). The bills stay on that special order on subsequent days until they are disposed of. HB574 would continue incentives under the Alabama Jobs Act with a cap on outstanding incentives and would amend specific code sections (40-18-370, 40-18-382, 40-18-383). HB571 would redraw House districts, involving repeal and addition of section 29-1-1.2.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House of Representatives would be required to treat HB574 and HB571 as priority items and process them ahead of other regular business until they are disposed.
• Alabama residents and stakeholders would be affected by the policy changes: businesses that rely on incentives under HB574 (due to continued incentives and new caps) and voters in districts that would be redrawn under HB571.

Key Provisions

• Establishes a Special Order Calendar for the 25th legislative day giving HB574 and HB571 priority over regular business, with exceptions for first readings and committee reports, and continues on subsequent days until disposed.
• HB574: Economic development and Alabama Jobs Act incentives would be continued; imposes a cap on outstanding incentives; amendments to Secs. 40-18-370, 40-18-382, and 40-18-383.
• HB571: Redraws House districts; repeals and adds Sec. 29-1-1.2.
