The proposed amendment would also limit the introduction of a special, private, or local bill after the twenty-fifth legislative day

To amend Section 106 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended by Amendment 341, now appearing as Section 106 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, relating to the enactment of special, private, or local bills and the notice required prior to their introduction; to provide procedures for advertising and other notice of private, special, or local bills prior to introduction in the Legislature; to provide procedures for amendments of the bills; and to limit the introduction of the bills after a certain legislative day.
