SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

SR77 is a Senate resolution that creates a special order calendar, making certain bills and business items on the 24th legislative day the priority over all other business.

What This Bill Does

If passed, it immediately designates a special order of business for the 24th legislative day that takes precedence over regular or unfinished business. It lists the categories that will be treated as part of the special order—Introduction of Bills, Committee Reports, Uncontested Local Legislation, and House Messages—and explicitly names SB322 and SB278 as items to be considered under this special order.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama Senate and legislative staff who manage the agenda and scheduling, since the order of business changes how items are considered.
• Sponsors and proponents of SB322 (community development districts and annexation into a municipality) and SB278 (religious instruction, elective credit for release time), whose bills would receive priority on the 24th day.
• Local governments and residents affected by SB322 (community development districts and potential annexation) and students/school communities affected by SB278 (elective credit for religious instruction).
