Regular Session 2021

Title

Senate Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR77 creates a special order calendar that makes SB97 and SB308 the Senate's immediate priority for the 18th legislative day.

What This Bill Does

It designates SB97 and SB308 as the special order of business, giving them precedence over all other matters until they are disposed of. SB97 would grant a health officer's emergency orders full force of law if the Governor approves them and files them with the Secretary of State during a state of emergency. SB308 would overhaul concealed carry permits by standardizing statewide issuance, creating lifetime permits, establishing a prohibited-person firearms database, providing an appeals process, and having ALEA run the program, with certain existing statutes repealed or amended. These changes would affect emergency health orders and concealed carry permit policies and enforcement.

Who It Affects

• Residents and individuals in Alabama who could be subject to state emergency health orders (if SB97 takes effect under the described conditions).
• Concealed carry permit applicants and holders, gun owners, and law enforcement/administrative agencies (ALEA) due to standardized issuance, lifetime permits, prohibited-person database, appeal process, and related statutory changes.

Key Provisions

• Establishes a special order calendar designating SB97 and SB308 as priority items for the 18th legislative day.
• Details included in SB97 and SB308: SB97 would make health emergency orders legally enforceable with Governor approval and filing with the Secretary of State; SB308 would standardize concealed carry permits statewide, create lifetime permits, create a prohibited-person firearms database, provide an appeals process, have ALEA operate the program, and repeal/amend listed statutes.
