SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

SR25 sets a special order calendar that places eight listed bills on the Senate’s seventh-day agenda, giving them priority over other business.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, SR25 makes the eight named bills the special and paramount order of business for the seventh legislative day, taking precedence over regular or unfinished business. It does not change the text of those bills; it only moves them forward in the schedule for consideration. The topics covered by these bills include licensing board extensions, school-based ASVAB testing, uniform-state-laws appointments, the creation of an Alabama Resilience Council, inmate procedures (warrant checks and virtual hearings), peer-to-peer car sharing regulations, extension of the 911 Board sunset, and an esthetics licensure compact.

Who It Affects

• Public high school students and school administrators, who could be affected by the ASVAB testing on campus being conducted on a voluntary basis under SB158.
• Licensed professionals and regulatory bodies (e.g., massage therapists, cosmetologists/estheticians) and state agencies (such as the Massage Therapy Licensing Board, Board of Cosmetology and Barbering, 911 Board, Department of Corrections) due to licensing changes, governance updates, and new procedures.
