The resolution adopted by the Alabama Senate outlines the special order of business for the eighteenth legislative day, prioritizing specific bills over the regular agenda. The first item is Senator Singleton's SB269, which aims to prohibit balance billing for ground ambulance services and establish minimum reimbursement rates from health care insurers to emergency medical service providers. Following this, Senators Kelley, Orr, and Kitchens present SB105, which mandates counties and municipalities to publish financial statements, audits, expenditures, and budgets online.
Additional bills on the agenda include Senator Kitchens' SB32, which seeks to exempt households relying solely on veterans' benefits from solid waste collection fees, and Senator Allen's SB5, proposing a constitutional amendment to require public K-12 schools to broadcast the Star-Spangled Banner weekly. Lastly, Senators Orr and others introduce SB57, which requires the Department of Human Resources to request a waiver to prohibit the purchase of soda and candy with SNAP benefits, along with provisions for implementing this prohibition.
