Summary

Primary Sponsor: Ron Johnson
Republican
Session: Regular Session 2012
Title: Statewide Trauma System Funding Legislative Committee continued until 2014
Summary: HJR163 would extend the Statewide Trauma System Funding Committee through 2014 to finish studying funding options for Alabama's statewide trauma system.
What This Bill Does
If passed, the Resolution keeps the Statewide Trauma System Funding Committee going through 2014 with the same makeup as the 2010 act (adding new members as required). It directs the committee to keep studying revenue options to support and expand the statewide trauma system and to report its final findings to the Legislature by the 10th legislative day of the 2014 Regular Session. After the report is delivered, the committee would be dissolved. The bill also outlines how committee members are paid, how travel is handled, and the small amount of funds allowed for the committee's work.

Who It Affects
Legislators serving on the Statewide Trauma System Funding Committee — they continue to receive regular compensation, per diem, and travel pay for meetings, with rules about session days and other pay, and travel must be approved for House members by the Speaker.
Alabama residents who rely on the statewide trauma system — the study and recommendations on funding could affect how the trauma system is funded and expanded in the future.
