House of Representatives, Consent Calendar

Summary

HR200 creates a House Consent Calendar and lists HB5 and HB243 to add income tax refund check-offs for two state funds.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, HR200 would establish rules for a Consent Calendar in the House (bills listed there are considered with no amendments, substitutions, or debate, and cannot be carried over; members may object by the 10th day). It places HB5 and HB243 on the Consent Calendar for consideration. Those bills would amend Section 40-18-140 to add income tax refund check-offs for contributions to the Historic Preservation Fund and the Alabama Firefighters Annuity and Benefit Fund. If HB5/HB243 become law, taxpayers could donate to these funds when filing their state income tax return.
