SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

SR97 establishes a special order calendar for the Senate to prioritize a list of bills on the 29th legislative day.

What This Bill Does

The resolution directs that the listed bills be treated as the top priority for a specific day, taking precedence over regular business. It does not itself create new laws but sets the order of consideration for bills concerning county taxes, coroner compensation, service of process funding, sheriff and revenue official pay, nicotine and tobacco product taxes, 911 board procedures, and a town boundary change. If adopted, these bills would be considered ahead of other matters on that day.

Who It Affects

• County and local governments (Elmore, Talladega, St. Clair, Marion, Chilton, and Autauga counties) and their residents, through proposed changes to taxes, compensation, and procedures.
• Taxpayers, businesses, and property owners who could be affected by proposed county taxes, special taxes, and property assessments.
• County officials and employees (sheriffs, coroners, revenue commissioners, 911 board members) who would see changes in compensation, duties, or procedures.
• The Town of Pine Level residents, affected by altered corporate limits.
