The resolution amends Rule 25 of the Joint Rules of the Alabama Legislature to clarify the requirements for general bills that impose new or increased expenditures by municipalities or counties. Specifically, it mandates that such bills must include a statement in their title indicating the financial impact. If the bill is excluded from the requirements of Section 111.05 of the Alabama Constitution, it must explicitly state this exclusion and provide the rationale.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the process for determining the fiscal impact of these bills. If a bill's aggregate fiscal impact is found to be less than $50,000 annually, the Legislative Services Agency will notify the sponsor to amend the bill accordingly. Furthermore, any bill that does not include the required exclusion statement and is subject to Section 111.05 must receive a two-thirds majority vote in the house to be transmitted to the other house. The fiscal note for bills exceeding the $50,000 threshold must also reflect this requirement.
