HR390 Alabama 2013 Session

Summary

Session

Regular Session 2013

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

HR390 is a House resolution that makes a specific list of bills the special order of business on the 26th legislative day, putting them ahead of all other business.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, it designates a fixed set of bills as the special and paramount agenda for the 26th day and keeps them as the priority on subsequent days until they are dispensed with. This means those bills will be considered before regular or pending business, potentially speeding up their debate or passage. The resolution does not create new laws; it only changes the scheduling of when these bills are discussed in the House.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House of Representatives, whose calendars and discussions will be reorganized to address the prioritized bills first.
• The sponsors and authors of the listed bills (e.g., Representatives Patterson, Carns, Bracy, Williams, Merrill, and others), whose measures are moved to the special order calendar for expedited consideration.

Key Provisions

• Designates a specific list of bills (including HB519, HB658, HB517, HB599, HB411, HB221, HB388, HB646, HB467, HB303, HB651, HB185, HB613, HB327, HB511, HB520, HB413, HB159, and others shown in the bill) as the special order of business for the 26th legislative day.
• Requires these bills to take precedence over the regular order of business and any pending or unfinished business, and to continue as priority on following legislative days until they are dispensed with.
• Communicates that the special order calendar covers a range of topics such as education access, school accountability, public finance, taxation, procurement, licensing, corrections, and related policy areas as listed in the bill.
• Affirms that the resolution itself is procedural (scheduling) and does not in itself enact policy changes beyond altering the order of consideration for the specified bills.
