Summary

Session

Regular Session 2022

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

HR216 creates a special order calendar for the 25th legislative day that gives priority to a specified list of bills, with strict 10-minute debate limits and automatic reversion to the regular calendar if not passed.

What This Bill Does

It establishes the Special Order Calendar as the priority group for the 25th legislative day, ahead of regular and unfinished business, for the listed bills. Debates on each listed bill (including substitutes and amendments) are limited to 10 minutes. If a listed bill does not pass within that time, it automatically reverts to its position on the regular order calendar, and there are no carryover motions, though sponsors can request a return to the regular order calendar.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House of Representatives, who will debate the listed bills under a 10-minute time limit and must follow the special order sequence.
• Sponsors and supporters of the listed bills, whose measures receive prioritized consideration on the specified day and are subject to the 10-minute debate cap with a mechanism to revert to regular order.
