Regular Session 2011

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

This House resolution sets a special order of business for the 13th legislative day, placing several retirement and education funding bills at the front of the agenda.

What This Bill Does

It designates specific bills (including HB414, HB432, HB123, HB412, HB413, HB415, HB416, HB433) as the special and paramount order of business for the 13th day, taking precedence over regular or unfinished business. This changes the schedule so those bills are considered first. Some listed bills involve changes to retirement contributions and fund transfers, while others focus on education budgets, institutional appropriations, and potential redirection of funds, with certain amendments to statutes and required approvals.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House and its committees, who will consider these bills before other business on the 13th day
• Educators and education staff (teachers and other school employees) and public education funding recipients, who could be affected by retirement contributions and education funding changes if the bills pass
• Institutions named in the bills (Lyman Ward Military Academy, Tuskegee University, Talladega College) and local boards of education and related agencies, due to appropriations or fund transfers
