Summary

Session

Regular Session 2010

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR171 creates a special order calendar that makes a list of bills the priority business for the Senate on the Twenty-Ninth Legislative Day.

What This Bill Does

It declares that the listed bills will be the special, paramount, and continuing order of business, taking precedence over all other matters that day. The bills cover topics such as municipal election timing (HB757), tax exemption for Eagles' Wings, Inc. (HB269), supplemental school funding for tornado-damaged sites (HB281), and other varied issues. This is a procedural rule and does not by itself change law; it simply tells the Senate which bills to consider first on that day.

Who It Affects

• Local governments and residents in Class 1 municipalities (including Birmingham) by potentially changing when mayors and city council members’ elections occur.
• Public agencies, school districts, taxpayers, veterans, first responders, and professionals affected by the listed bills (e.g., tax exemptions, funding for tornado-damaged schools, diplomas for Vietnam-era veterans, drug courts, and related policy topics).
