HR260 Alabama 2015 Session

Summary

Session

Regular Session 2015

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

HR260 creates a special, priority calendar for the 23rd day that gives listed bills only 10 minutes each to be considered.

What This Bill Does

It designates a special order of business that takes precedence over the normal agenda for the 23rd legislative day. Each listed bill and its Budget Impact Report can be considered for a total of 10 minutes. If a bill does not pass within that 10-minute window, it automatically returns to its position on the regular calendar. This is a procedural rule set by the House Rules Committee and does not by itself change existing laws.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House of Representatives, who must follow the 10-minute limit and treat the listed bills as top priority on the 23rd day.
• Sponsors and stakeholders of the listed bills (and the public watching the session), whose bills will be expedited with limited time for debate or amendments.

Key Provisions

• Immediately adopt a special and paramount order of business for the 23rd legislative day.
• Limit consideration of the listed bills and their accompanying Budget Impact Reports to a total of 10 minutes per bill.
• If a bill fails to pass within 10 minutes, it reverts to its position on the regular order calendar.
• The listed bills are taken up in the order shown in the resolution.
