Summary

Session

Regular Session 2013

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

HR285 sets a special order calendar that makes a list of named bills the priority items for the Alabama House on the 20th legislative day.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, the resolution immediately designates the listed bills as the special and paramount order of business for the 20th legislative day, taking precedence over the regular order or any unfinished business. This means those bills will be considered before other topics on that day. The list covers a range of topics, including tax exemptions, fishing regulations, nursing and medical regulation, housing bonds, insurance, taxation of ophthalmic materials, food pantry exemptions, transportation project oversight, privacy protections for criminal justice employees, and other policy areas. The resolution itself does not change laws; it only changes the order in which these bills are scheduled for consideration.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House of Representatives and legislative staff, who would follow the new priority schedule and focus on the listed bills on the 20th day.
• Alabama residents and stakeholders interested in the topics of the listed bills (e.g., taxes, fishing rules, health and nursing regulation, housing and transportation, insurance, privacy, and voting-related issues), who could see earlier consideration or debate on these topics if the bills advance.

Key Provisions

• Immediately upon adoption, the listed business becomes the special and paramount order of business for the 20th legislative day, taking precedence over the regular order of business or any pending or unfinished business.
• The order lists specific bills to be prioritized, identified by bill numbers such as HB19, HB194, HB307, HB144, HB199, HB175, HB37, HB165, HB257, HB290, HB192, HB329, HB51, HB162, HB91, HB89, among others identified in the resolution.
• The resolution directs the House to proceed with these bills on the designated day in the order set forth, effectively fast-tracking their consideration relative to other business.
