High Interest

Summary

Session: Regular Session 2011
Title: House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar
Summary: HR897 sets a special order calendar for the 29th day, moving a list of Senate bills to the front of the House's agenda.
What This Bill Does
The resolution designates specific Senate bills as the special and paramount business for that day, taking precedence over regular or unfinished business. It includes items such as reauthorizing the Forever Wild Land Trust through a constitutional amendment and establishing an online motor vehicle insurance verification system, among other proposed measures; these bills would be considered ahead of other matters on that day. The resolution itself does not enact these policies but prioritizes their consideration by the House on that date.

Who It Affects
Motorists and vehicle owners in Alabama, because SB137 would require online verification of auto liability insurance before registration and mandate electronic checks by the Revenue Department and law enforcement.
State agencies, law enforcement, and the Legislature, because they would implement and respond to the prioritized bills (including administration of the online verification system, funding, and potential policy changes) and the special-order schedule itself.
