Summary

Session

Regular Session 2011

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

The House Passes a resolution to set a special order calendar for the 23rd day, giving a specific list of bills priority and limiting debate to a total of 10 minutes.

What This Bill Does

It designates certain listed bills as the special and paramount order of business for the 23rd legislative day, taking precedence over the regular agenda. Debates on these bills (and their accompanying Budget Impact Reports) are limited to a combined 10 minutes, and any bill that does not pass within that window automatically returns to its position on the regular calendar. These bills are not eligible for carryover motions, temporary or otherwise. This is a procedural resolution by the House Rules Committee.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House of Representatives (and House staff) who will manage, debate, and vote on the listed bills during the 23rd day, since the agenda and time are tightly constrained.
• Residents and entities in Alabama who would be affected if any of the listed bills become law, including sectors such as funerals, banking, mental health, service animals, hurricane preparedness, salvage and vehicle regulation, education, firearms, unemployment, and other areas touched by the listed bills.
