Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

HR228 is a House resolution that sets a special priority calendar, making a specified list of bills the focus for the 25th legislative day.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, it designates the listed bills as the special and paramount order of business for the 25th legislative day, ahead of regular or unfinished business. It also establishes the exact order of precedence among those bills as shown in the resolution. This is a procedural scheduling move by the House Rules Committee to control which bills are considered first. The bills cover topics such as innovation funding, charter schools, digital connectivity, tax exemptions, wastewater regulation, distracted driving laws, feminine hygiene products in schools, and pardons, among others.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House of Representatives, who will address the listed bills in the designated order on the 25th day.
• Sponsors and stakeholders of the listed bills (e.g., agencies and organizations tied to HB540, HB609, HB487, SB215, HB631, HB625, SB277, HB626, HB611, HB88, HB266, SB135, HB490, HB421, SB294, SB4, SB204), who may be affected by the scheduling and prioritization.

Key Provisions

• Immediately upon adoption, the listed bills become the special and paramount order of business for the 25th legislative day, taking precedence over other business.
• The order of precedence among the listed bills is fixed as shown in the resolution.
• This designation applies only to the 25th legislative day and is a procedural scheduling tool, not a vote on the bills themselves.
• The resolution does not itself enact policy changes; it determines the sequence in which the listed bills are considered.
