Bill > HB48

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the Alabama Constitution that would divide the legislature's regular sessions into two periods, impose a deadline for passing budget bills before the second period, and revise the governor's veto procedures. The key provisions include: 1) Organizational sessions limited to 10 days for electing legislative leadership and other business; 2) Regular sessions divided into a first period of 20 legislative days and 75 calendar days, followed by a second period of 10 legislative days and 30 calendar days; 3) A special budget session required if budget bills are not passed during the first period; and 4) Revised procedures for the governor to approve or veto bills, including an opportunity for the legislature to override vetoes of bills passed during the first period.
