SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

SR21 sets the Senate's special order calendar for the fifth legislative day and places six Senate bills (SB101, SB93, SB115, SB131, SB30, SB54) on that prioritized agenda.

What This Bill Does

It changes the order of business in the Senate so those six bills are considered before other regular business. It does not change the bills' contents or pass them by itself; it only prioritizes their consideration. The included bills address sunset extensions for two regulatory bodies, municipal tie-breaking rules, vehicle-repair bidding exemptions, limits on developer subdivision exceptions, and unenforceability of certain non-disclosure agreements related to sexual abuse. These provisions would only take effect if the bills themselves are enacted into law.

Who It Affects

• Local governments and residents in Alabama, particularly municipal mayors and councils and developers, through changes to tie-breaking rules and subdivision regulation exemptions.
• State agencies and regulated groups (such as the Alabama Board of Electrical Contractors, the Alabama Surface Mining Commission, awarding authorities, developers) as well as the general public who interact with licensing, bidding, disclosures, and regulatory oversight.

Key Provisions

• Designates a special order calendar for the fifth legislative day and places six named Senate bills (SB101, SB93, SB115, SB131, SB30, SB54) on that priority agenda.
• Summarizes the topics of the listed bills, including SB101 extending the sunset date for the Alabama Board of Electrical Contractors to 2028 and SB54 extending the sunset for the Alabama Surface Mining Commission to 2030, along with related changes (municipal tie-breaking, competitive bidding exemptions for certain vehicle repairs, subdivision regulation exceptions limited to 24 months, and unenforceability of nondisclosure agreements in sexual abuse cases).
