Summary

Session

Regular Session 2013

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

A House resolution that sets a special order calendar for the 16th legislative day, placing a list of bills on priority over regular business.

What This Bill Does

Once adopted, it makes the listed bills the special and paramount order of business for that day, taking precedence over any pending or unfinished business. It effectively reshuffles the agenda so those bills are considered first rather than following the normal order. It is a procedural scheduling change and does not in itself enact or amend laws. The topics covered by the listed bills include veterinary regulation, taxes, homebrewing, elder care, education, and several other policy areas.

Who It Affects

• House members and staff, especially the Rules Committee and the Representatives whose bills are listed, who would see those bills prioritized for debate and possible passage on the 16th day
• Residents and stakeholders in Alabama who are affected by the issues in the listed bills, who could see quicker legislative consideration of topics such as veterinary practice, taxation, education, elder care, and other policy areas
