Title

Committee appointed to notify Governor that the Legislature is in Session

Summary

HJR2 would create a six-member committee to notify the Governor that the Alabama Legislature is in session and ready to transact business.

What This Bill Does

If passed, the resolution would appoint a committee of six lawmakers—three from the House named by the Speaker of the House and three from the Senate named by the Presiding Officer of the Senate—to notify the Governor that the Legislature is in session and prepared to conduct business. The committee’s notification would officially inform the Governor that legislative work may begin. This is a formal procedure created by a joint resolution and does not by itself change laws or legislative powers.

Who It Affects

• Governor, who would receive a formal notification that the Legislature is in session.
• Six lawmakers who would serve on the committee (three House members selected by the Speaker of the House and three Senate members selected by the Presiding Officer of the Senate).

Key Provisions

• Creates a six-member committee with three House members named by the Speaker of the House and three Senate members named by the Presiding Officer of the Senate to carry out the notification.
• Directs the committee to notify the Governor that the Legislature is in session and ready to transact business; the resolution is a joint resolution to be concurred by both chambers.
