Title

SPECIAL ORDER CALENDER

Summary

HR197 sets a special order calendar that makes several education funding bills the priority for the 22nd legislative day.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, it immediately designates the listed bills as the special and paramount order of business for the 22nd day, taking precedence over regular or unfinished business. The bills moved include supplemental and regular appropriations from the Education Trust Fund to education systems, colleges, universities, and related entities for fiscal years ending 2024 and 2025, as well as a salary increase for public education employees. This changes the day’s focus to advancing those funding measures before other items are considered.

Who It Affects

• Public education systems, colleges, universities, and other entities that receive funding under the listed bills (HB144, HB145, HB147, HB148, HB149, HB150, HB163).
• Public education employees who would receive a salary increase under HB146 (including K-12 and postsecondary staff, and AIDB).
• The Alabama House of Representatives and the legislative process for that day, since the order of consideration is being changed to prioritize these bills.

Key Provisions

• Designates HB144, HB145, HB146, HB147, HB148, HB149, HB150, and HB163 as the special and paramount order of business for the 22nd legislative day.
• Requires immediate effect upon adoption, giving these bills precedence over the regular or any pending/unfinished business for that day.
• Specifies these bills involve appropriations from the Education Trust Fund to education-related entities (and salary-related measures) for fiscal years ending 2024 and 2025.
