The resolution adopted by the Alabama Senate on July 19, 2023, establishes a special order of business for the third legislative day, prioritizing specific legislative items over the regular agenda. This resolution mandates that the Senate will first address the redrawing of congressional districts through Senate Bill 5, followed by Senate Bill 3, which pertains to the transmission of local laws or constitutional amendments prior to the transmission of appropriations.
Additionally, the resolution includes Senate Bill 4, which allows certain retired state policemen to serve as school resource officers or correctional officers without losing their retirement benefits. This structured approach aims to streamline the legislative process for these key issues, ensuring they receive immediate attention and consideration.
