It directs the Senate to consider these bills before any other business on that day. The nine bills cover topics including teacher mobility, podiatry practice, Alabama Peace Officers' Memorial Day, social work licensure, circuit clerks' salaries, retirement provisions for local units, guardianship alternatives, Spanish Fort boundary changes, and cross-state physical therapy licensing.
