Title

COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO NOTIFY GOVERNOR THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS IN SPECIAL SESSION.

Summary

A joint resolution creates a six-member committee (3 House members named by the Speaker and 3 Senate members named by the Senate leader) to notify the Governor that the Legislature is in special session and ready to transact business.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, it would establish a committee whose job is to officially inform the Governor that the Legislature has entered a special session and is prepared to conduct business. The committee will consist of six lawmakers—three from the House and three from the Senate—named by their respective leaders. Because this is a joint resolution approved by both chambers, it reflects a coordinated action to notify the Governor about the session state.

Who It Affects

• Six lawmakers who will serve on the notification committee (three from the House, three from the Senate) and are responsible for communicating with the Governor.
• The Governor of Alabama, who would receive the formal notification that the Legislature is in a special session and ready to transact business.

Key Provisions

• Establishes a six-member committee to notify the Governor that the Legislature is in special session and ready to transact business.
