SPECIAL ORDER CALENDER

Summary

HR78 is a House resolution that sets a list of bills to be the special order of business for the tenth legislative day, giving them priority over other matters.

What This Bill Does

Once adopted, it designates nine bills as the special and paramount order of business for the tenth day of the session. The listed bills cover topics such as economic development incentives and transparency (HB241 (w-sub), HB240, HB257 (w-sub), HB247), workforce and school safety initiatives (HB45 (w-sub)), licensing and tax rules (HB11, HB77), and public works and local government procedures (HB157, HB13 (w-sub)). This action is a scheduling decision and does not itself create new laws; it simply prioritizes these bills for debate and possible passage. The order of consideration is as listed in HR78 and applies to the tenth day only.

Who It Affects

• House members and staff who will debate and vote on the listed bills as special order items.
• State agencies, businesses, and residents affected by the underlying bills (e.g., Commerce Department, Alabama Jobs Act programs, Alabama Innovation Corporation, State Industrial Development Authority, schools, local governments, and taxpayers).

Key Provisions

• Designates HB241 (w-sub), HB257 (w-sub), HB240, HB247, HB45 (w-sub), HB11, HB77, HB157, and HB13 (w-sub) as the special and paramount order of business for the tenth legislative day.
• Gives these bills priority over the regular order and any pending or unfinished business.
• States that HR78 does not enact policy changes itself—it schedules these bills for consideration.
