Bill > SB240

This bill amends Section 29-6-3 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to modify the quorum and voting requirements for the Legislative Council. It establishes that a quorum of the Legislative Council is a majority of the members who are from the Senate and a majority of the members who are from the House of Representatives. The bill also changes the voting requirement, stating that any decision of the Legislative Council shall be made by a majority of those voting, with a quorum present. Additionally, the bill requires that all decisions of the Legislative Council, except those involving personnel matters, be published on the Legislature's website. The bill also subjects the Legislative Council to the Alabama Open Meetings Act, with certain exceptions, and outlines provisions for orientation programs for new council members.
