SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

HR190 creates a special order calendar that makes a list of bills top priority for the House on the twenty-first legislative day.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, it immediately makes the listed bills the special and paramount order of business, taking precedence over regular or unfinished business. It specifies the exact bills to be considered on that day, effectively setting the order of debate and action for those measures. The resolution itself does not change laws; it changes the schedule and priority for that day. The included bills cover topics such as state symbols, tobacco and nicotine product regulation, consumer protection, credit, forestry, driver licensing, and public records.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House of Representatives, who would be required to take up and vote on the listed bills on the 21st legislative day as top priority.
• Alabama residents and entities who would be affected if those bills pass (for example, changes related to state symbols, tobacco product regulation, consumer protection, licensing rules, forestry programs, and driver licensing).
