Title

Shroud Award, designating the 2014 recipient

Summary

HR548 is a ceremonial House resolution designating the 2014 Shroud Award recipient, naming House Bill 559 as the year's 'deadest' bill.

What This Bill Does

The resolution publicly designates the Shroud Award to HB559, a symbolic recognition of the year's 'deadest' bill. It does not change law by itself. HB559 would create a Fourth of July weekend sales tax holiday on guns and ammunition if enacted, but HR548 does not implement that policy—it's a ceremonial designation recognizing HB559.

Who It Affects

• HB559 sponsor Becky Nordgren and other House members involved in the designation are publicly recognized as the Shroud Award recipient.
• Alabama residents, particularly gun and ammunition buyers, could be affected if HB559 becomes law because they would receive a tax-free holiday during the specified weekend.

Key Provisions

• Designates House Bill 559 as the recipient of the 2014 Shroud Award.

• Notes that HB559 would provide a Fourth of July weekend sales tax holiday on guns and ammunition if enacted.
