Title

Legislative costs, appropriation made for unexpended funds, required appropriation repealed, Sec. 29-1-22, repealed

Summary

The bill repeals the law that automatically funds legislative costs when funds are low.

What This Bill Does

It repeals Section 29-1-22, Code of Alabama 1975, which required automatic appropriations for legislative costs based on unexpended funds. Without this automatic trigger, legislative costs would no longer be funded automatically and would be handled through the normal budget appropriation process. The act becomes effective immediately upon passage and the governor's approval (or when it otherwise becomes law).

Who It Affects

• Alabama Legislature and its budget/administrative offices - automatic funding for legislative costs would be removed.
• State budget and finance officials and agencies responsible for appropriations - would implement funding for legislative costs through the standard appropriation process rather than automatic triggers.

Key Provisions

• Repeals Section 29-1-22, Code of Alabama 1975, removing the requirement for automatic appropriations for legislative costs based on unexpended funds.
• Effective immediately upon passage and the Governor's approval (or becoming law).
