Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR29 designates HB147 as the Senate’s special order of business for the eighth legislative day, focusing on a bill that would restrict municipal occupational taxes.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, SR29 makes HB147 the priority item for the eighth day, taking precedence over all other business until it is disposed of. HB147 itself would prohibit municipal occupational taxes that are not already in effect unless they are authorized by local law.

Who It Affects

• Municipal governments (cities and towns) in Alabama, because they would be restricted from imposing new municipal occupational taxes unless already in effect or locally authorized.
• Residents and workers in municipalities, since the presence or absence of municipal occupational taxes could affect taxes they pay.

Key Provisions

• Designates HB147 as the special, paramount, continuing order of business for the eighth Legislative day, taking precedence over all other matters until disposed of.
• HB147 would prohibit municipal occupational taxes that are not already in effect unless authorized by local law.
