Summary

Session

Regular Session 2019

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR25 sets a special, priority calendar that places five specific bills on the Senate's agenda for the Fifth Legislative Day only.

What This Bill Does

It designates SB38, SB74, SB11, SB80, and SB70 as the special order of business, giving them precedence over all other matters until they are disposed of on that day. This is a scheduling rule, not passage of the bills itself, but it means those bills will be considered before other business. The listed bills cover nursing licensure, off-road vehicle rules, sex-offense statute of limitations, the Contract Review Oversight Committee, and aggravated fraud statutes, so their substantive changes would come into play if those bills are acted upon that day.

Who It Affects

• Senate members and staff, whose daily agenda and debate timing are affected by the prioritized schedule for the Fifth Legislative Day.
• Stakeholders connected to the five bills (nursing board and licensure provisions, off-road vehicle regulations, victims and advocates related to sex-offense statutes, members of the Contract Review Oversight Committee, and those affected by aggravated fraud laws) who may experience quicker consideration or changes on that day.

Key Provisions

• Designates SB38, SB74, SB11, SB80, and SB70 as the special, paramount, continuing order of business taking precedence over all other matters until disposed of for the Fifth Legislative Day only.
• SB38 would allow the Board of Nursing to enter into the Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact, adding and amending specified sections (34-21-20.01, 34-21-120 to 34-21-130; and amending 34-21-1, 34-21-2, 34-21-21, 34-21-22, 34-21-25).
• SB74 would change registration requirements for off-road and recreational vehicles, increase width and weight restrictions, and amend Sec. 32-12A-1.
• SB11 would toll (pause) the civil procedure statute of limitations for sex offenses until the victim reaches the age of majority.
• SB80 would alter the membership and term lengths of the Contract Review Permanent Legislative Oversight Committee, adding chairs of specified House and Senate committees, with related amendments to Sec. 29-2-40.
• SB70 would create the crime of aggravated fraud, adding it to provisions across commercial law, securities, and related offenses (amending Sec. 13A-8-220).
