Summary

HR167 sets a special order of business for the 11th legislative day, prioritizing a specific set of appropriation and policy bills.

What This Bill Does

The resolution immediately designates certain bills as the special and paramount business for the 11th day, ahead of regular or unfinished items. It lists the items to be considered in that order, effectively fast-tracking discussion and potential action on those specific appropriations and policy changes (including funding for various agencies and programs and some tax and Medicaid provisions).

Who It Affects

• State agencies and programs named for funding or reporting (e.g., Alabama Forestry Commission, State Board of Prosthetics and Orthotics, Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Children’s Affairs Department) as they would receive appropriations and face accompanying reporting/audit requirements.
• Nursing facilities, Medicaid providers, and taxpayers/residents affected by extended or changed funding, assessments, and use-tax provisions (including potential impacts on facility surcharges, Medicaid funding, and related financial reporting).

Key Provisions

• Establishes the 11th day as the special and paramount order of business, taking precedence over all other business.
• Lists specific bills to be considered on that day: HB157 (supplemental appropriations for Emergency Forest Fire Fund and Prosthetics/Orthotics Fund for FY 2017), HB155 (General Fund budget for FY 2018), HB156 (Coalition Against Domestic Violence funding and required reporting), HB178 (Children First Trust Fund funding with tobacco revenue provisions and reporting requirements), HB347 (extension of nursing facilities Surcharge/Supplemental Privilege Assessment), HB348 (extension of Medicaid funding and private hospital assessment), SB86 (use tax changes, disclosures for eligible sellers, and related amendments to multiple code sections).
