Summary

Session

Regular Session 2014

Title

Senate, special order calendar

Summary

SR123 sets a special, priority calendar for four House bills to be considered by the Senate on the Twenty-ninth Legislative Day, taking precedence over all other business.

What This Bill Does

The resolution designates HB489, HB494, HB376, and HB191 as the Senate’s special order of business for the Twenty-ninth Legislative Day, meaning they will be discussed and voted on before other matters. It identifies the topics of these bills (abortion information, minor abortion consent, juvenile court parental rights, and school attendance/online schooling) and confirms the priority status applies only to that day. The resolution itself does not change the bills’ content, only their order of consideration.

Who It Affects

• Women seeking abortion information and minors seeking abortions (and their families) by signaling that related bills will be addressed first and potentially enacted, via HB489 and HB494.
• Students and their families, as well as those involved in juvenile court matters, because HB191 affects graduation-rate calculations for online schooling and HB376 affects juvenile court jurisdiction over termination of parental rights.

Key Provisions

• Designates HB489, HB494, HB376, and HB191 as the special, paramount and continuing order of business, taking precedence over all other matters until disposed of for the Twenty-ninth Legislative Day only.
• Applies specifically to the Twenty-ninth Legislative Day.
• HB489: abortion information must be provided to a woman at least 48 hours before an abortion (amends Sec. 26-23A-4).
• HB494: for abortions involving minors, defines alternative consent, requires written parental consent, requires physician procedures, and amends/adds specified sections (Secs. 26-21-1 to 26-21-4, 26-21-7 amended, Secs. 26-21-9, 26-21-10 added).
• HB376: clarifies juvenile court exclusive jurisdiction over termination of parental rights and states legislative intent (amends Sec. 12-15-114).
• HB191: changes school attendance rules so a child who withdraws to attend an accredited online school is not counted as a dropout or non-graduate for graduation-rate determinations (amends Sec. 16-28-3).
