Regular Session 2016

Title

House of Representatives, Consent Calendar

Summary

This House resolution creates a Consent Calendar to list certain bills for quick, non-amendable consideration on a set day.

What This Bill Does

It sets up a process for placing bills on a Consent Calendar to be considered on the 24th legislative day (or later if not reached). Once on the calendar, those bills may not be amended, substituted, debated, or carried over, and members must file objections by adjournment on the 23rd day. The listed bills include SB133 and SB322, which would, respectively, add a Black Heritage Council appointee to the Historical Commission and rename the Labor Department’s head from Commissioner of Labor to Secretary of Labor, with related section amendments.

Who It Affects

• Alabama House members, who would manage and vote on the Consent Calendar and enforce the no-amendment/debate rule
• The Historical Commission, Alabama Black Heritage Council, and the Department of Labor, which would see a composition change, a leadership title change, and related statute amendments
