Summary

Session

Regular Session 2021

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR126 creates a special order calendar that puts a list of specified bills on the Senate’s top priority agenda for the 28th legislative day.

What This Bill Does

It designates the listed bills as the special, paramount, continuing order of business and gives them precedence over all other matters until they are disposed of on the 28th day only. The bills cover topics such as innovation and small business grants, public waterways management, veteran license plate fees, nicotine age restrictions, education, and professional boards, and some would add or amend specific state laws if enacted. This resolution itself does not change laws but schedules bills for priority consideration.

Who It Affects

• Senate lawmakers and legislative staff, who must treat the listed bills as the priority business on the 28th day.
• Alabama residents and stakeholders who would be affected by the policies in the listed bills (e.g., small businesses, veterans, nicotine buyers, student-athletes, foresters, educators, and others) depending on which bills advance.
