2026 Regular Session

Title

SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

HR60 creates a special order calendar that prioritizes a list of bills for consideration on the eighth legislative day.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, HR60 makes the listed bills the special and paramount order of business for the eighth day, taking precedence over regular business. The resolution directs those bills to be taken up and discussed before other matters on that day. The items cover education, university governance, criminal law related to marijuana in vehicles with kids, voter information protections, taxation, retirement, vehicle plates, homestead exemptions, impoundment rules, and other policy topics. The measure itself does not change the text of the bills, only the order in which they are considered.

Who It Affects

• Public educators and education system employees (through TEAMS contract provisions, reporting requirements for higher education funds, and related retirement considerations)
• General Alabama residents and state policy stakeholders (through proposed changes affecting education funding and governance, criminal penalties, voter information protections, vehicle/veteran plates, homestead exemptions, and related administrative rules)
