Summary

Session

Regular Session 2013

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

This Senate resolution sets HB94 and SB153 as the top priority items on the Special Order Calendar for the fifth day of the 2013 Regular Session.

What This Bill Does

It designates HB94 and SB153 as the paramount and continuing order of business, taking precedence over all other matters when third reading is reached on the fifth day. The order of priority is HB94 first, followed by SB153. It applies only to the 2013 Regular Session and only on that specified day, and it is a procedural scheduling rule rather than a policy change.

Who It Affects

• Group 1: Senate members and legislative staff – affected because they must treat HB94 and SB153 as the top-priority items and follow the specified order when they reach third reading on the fifth day.
• Group 2: Alabama residents, taxpayers, and public utility stakeholders – indirectly affected if these bills become law, since HB94 involves transferring funds from the Alabama Trust Fund to the General Fund and SB153 involves contracts related to building and repairing utility systems.

Key Provisions

• Designates HB94 and SB153 as the paramount and continuing order of business, taking precedence over all other matters when third readings are reached on the fifth day of the 2013 Regular Session.
• Outlines the priority order: HB94 (first) followed by SB153; HB94 involves transferring an amount from the Alabama Trust Fund to the State General Fund as required by a constitutional amendment with repayment within a set time frame, and SB153 amends Sec. 11-47-3 to authorize contracts between governing bodies and registered service providers to build, maintain, or repair utility systems.
