Bill Summary · SR 93

Legislative bill overview

SR 93 is a special order calendar resolution introduced in the Alabama Legislature that establishes procedural scheduling for legislative business. The bill was introduced on May 6, 2025, and immediately adopted via roll call vote 935 on the same day by sponsor Jabo Waggoner.

Why is this important

Special order calendar resolutions determine the sequence and timing of bills debated on the legislative floor, directly affecting which legislation receives floor time and when. This procedural tool can significantly influence which bills advance and which may be deprioritized, making it strategically important for legislative outcomes.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of transparency: The bill summary does not specify which bills are included in this special order or their ranking, making public scrutiny difficult
  • Procedural power: Special order calendars can be used to prioritize certain legislation over other measures, raising questions about fairness and representation of diverse legislative interests
  • Limited public information: Without access to the specific bills scheduled, citizens cannot easily track how this procedural decision may affect their interests
