Regular Session 2013

Title

Senate, Special order calendar

Summary

SR17 is a Senate resolution that sets the special-order calendar, making SB49 and SB96 the priority bills to be considered on the fourth day of the 2013 session.

What This Bill Does

It designates SB49 and SB96 as the paramount and continuing order of business, taking precedence over all other matters when those bills reach third reading on the fourth legislative day of the 2013 Regular Session. It does not change policy by itself, but directs the Senate to prioritize those two bills on that day. The descriptions included show what each bill would do if enacted: SB49 would provide rebates for production companies for qualified expenses that exceed Alabama income tax liability (amending Sec. 41-7A-43); SB96 would authorize tax-incentive programs such as tax increment districts and a Major 21st Century Manufacturing Zone, including required tax credits and amendments to several related sections.

Who It Affects

• Production companies and the film/television industry in Alabama, which could receive rebates for qualified expenses that exceed their Alabama income tax liability under SB49.
• Municipalities and businesses involved in economic development programs (tax increment districts, Major 21st Century Manufacturing Zone) and related stakeholders, due to SB96 creating/altering tax incentives and requiring tax credits.
