SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

SR6 is a Senate resolution that designates SB5, SB3, and SB4 as the special order of business for the third legislative day, giving them top priority.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, the resolution makes SB5, SB3, and SB4 the special and paramount order of business for the third legislative day, taking precedence over regular or any pending business. This means those bills will be considered before other work on that day. The bills cover redrawing congressional districts (SB5), a procedural rule about transmitting local laws or constitutional amendments before appropriations (SB3), and a retirement policy allowing certain retired state policemen to work as school resource officers or correctional officers without suspending their retirement benefits (SB4). The resolution becomes effective immediately upon adoption, and it has been signed into effect.

Who It Affects

• Alabama residents, especially voters in congressional districts, who could be affected by redistricting under SB5.
• Certain retired state police personnel who may work as school resource officers or correctional officers without losing retirement benefits, and the Employees' Retirement System that administers these benefits.

Key Provisions
