Title

SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

HR213 creates a special order calendar that makes a specified list of bills the top priority for the 20th legislative day.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, it makes the listed bills the special and paramount order of business for the 20th day, taking precedence over regular or unfinished business. It directs the House to consider those bills before other matters on that day. The items cover topics ranging from education policy and crime penalties to insurance, taxes, local government, and public safety. The measure changes only the order of consideration, not the contents of the bills themselves.

Who It Affects

• Members of the Alabama House of Representatives: must address the listed bills as the top priority on the 20th legislative day
• Local boards of education and education stakeholders: HB511 would require a vote on a policy for daily prayer and reading of religious texts if enacted
• State agencies and local government entities tied to the listed bills (e.g., Department of Insurance, Alabama Securities Commission, Governor's Mansion Authority, local commissions/authorities, public safety and election entities): their policies, programs, or regulations may be affected if these bills are enacted
