Summary

Session

Regular Session 2012

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

A Senate resolution creates a Special Order Calendar to give a fixed list of bills priority on third reading during the 2012 Regular Session.

What This Bill Does

It designates an ordered list of bills to be the main business and requires they take precedence over all other matters when they reach third reading on the 23rd legislative day. This changes the scheduling and flow of debate for those bills on that day, potentially speeding their consideration. It applies only to the 2012 session and does not change the substantive law of any bill.

Who It Affects

• Senate members and bill sponsors whose bills are named in the calendar, as their bills will be prioritized in scheduling and debate on the specified day.
• Alabama residents and stakeholders who would be affected by the listed bills if enacted, since prioritizing these bills could influence which policies are considered and potentially enacted.

Key Provisions

• Requires these bills to take precedence over all other matters upon reaching third reading on that day.
