The resolution outlines the special order of business for the fifth legislative day of the Alabama House of Representatives, which will take precedence over regular proceedings. It specifies that debate on each bill will be limited to 10 minutes, after which the Speaker will call for a vote on the bill and any proposed amendments or substitutes. Notably, these bills are not subject to motions to carry over, ensuring that they will be addressed promptly.
The resolution includes three specific bills for consideration: SB79, which defines sex-based terms and mandates that vital statistics report sex as male or female at birth; HB45, which requires the Medicaid Agency to cover colorectal cancer screening tests that receive a grade A or B recommendation from the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force; and HB79, which prohibits the State Board of Pharmacy and employers from disciplining pharmacists who recommend off-label medical treatments.
