This bill proposes to amend Section 71.01 of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 to authorize the Legislature to sign and transmit local laws or constitutional amendments before the transmission of basic appropriations. The bill states that the duty of the legislature to make basic appropriations for any budget period that will commence before the first day of any succeeding regular session shall be paramount. However, this bill allows for the passage of local laws or local constitutional amendments, the adoption of resolutions, or the conduct of any legislative functions that do not require a third reading, even if basic appropriations have not been signed and transmitted. The bill also includes provisions for the timely passage of bills making basic appropriations and clarifies that the legislature is not required to make any appropriation not otherwise required by the Constitution.
