Summary

SJR2 creates a joint six-member committee to notify the Governor that the Alabama Legislature is in session and ready to transact business.

What This Bill Does

If passed, the bill would appoint six lawmakers—three from the Senate and three from the House—to form a committee that notifies the Governor that the Legislature is in session and ready to do business. The Senate Presiding Officer would name the three Senate members, and the House Speaker would name the three House members. This establishes a formal notification process and does not create new laws beyond this notification role.
