2025 Regular Session

Title

SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

HR104 sets a special, priority agenda for the 11th legislative day by designating a list of bills to be considered before other business.

What This Bill Does

It makes the listed bills the special and paramount order of business for the 11th day, taking precedence over the regular agenda or any unfinished items. It directs the House to consider these specific bills (and any amendments noted) on that day, covering topics from public education retiree health contract renegotiations to homestead exemptions and various regulatory and administrative actions. This is a procedural change to the agenda, not a new law, and it applies only to that day.

Who It Affects

• House members and legislative staff, who must follow the new special-order agenda and manage the debate and consideration of the listed bills on that day.
• Alabama residents and stakeholders affected by the prioritized bills, including homeowners (homestead exemption changes), public education employees and Medicare retirees, taxpayers and consumers (sales tax exemptions), local governments, license plate enthusiasts, and other groups linked to the topics of the listed bills.
