SR99 Alabama 2021 Session

Summary

Session

Regular Session 2021

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR99 creates a Special Order Calendar that makes a specified list of bills the top priority on the Senate floor and requires them to take precedence over all other business until they are disposed of by the 23rd Legislative day.

What This Bill Does

It designates the listed bills as the special, paramount, and continuing order of business, giving them floor priority over other matters until they are disposed of by the 23rd day. It changes the scheduling so these bills are considered before non-listed items for a set period, affecting how quickly or slowly other bills move through the chamber. It does not change the content of the bills themselves; it only affects their placement on the legislative agenda.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama Senate and their staff, who will handle and vote on the listed bills as the primary floor business until the 23rd day.
• Sponsors and stakeholders of the listed bills (topics include K-12 education, corrections, family leave/adoption, firearms, public health, child custody, grandparent visitation, sex education, controlled substances, EMS, municipal matters, solid waste, utilities, and farm vehicle rules) whose bills will be prioritized and potentially moved through the process more quickly during the special order period.
