HJR2 is a simple joint resolution of the Alabama Legislature that creates a six-member committee to notify the Governor that the Legislature is in session and ready to conduct business. The committee is to be composed of three House members appointed by the Speaker of the House and three Senate members appointed by the Presiding Officer of the Senate.
The resolution is procedural and ceremonial rather than substantive. It does not amend the Alabama Code, create a new program, impose requirements on any agency or private party, or change existing state law. Its purpose is to carry out a traditional legislative formality at the start of a session and formally communicate to the Governor that the Legislature is organized and prepared to proceed.
Impact
HJR2 has no direct impact on state statutes, regulations, or the rights and obligations of individuals or entities. It functions as an internal legislative resolution establishing a temporary committee for a ceremonial notification to the Governor, and it does not alter Alabama law or create enforceable duties outside the Legislature.
Sentiment
The available record suggests no controversy or opposition surrounding the resolution. Because it is a routine organizational measure, the bill appears to be treated as a standard procedural step in the opening of the legislative session, with no recorded debate, committee testimony, or votes indicating disagreement.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the provided materials. The resolution is administrative in nature, and the only decision involved is the selection of six legislators by the presiding officers of each chamber to serve on the notification committee. No affected outside parties, policy tradeoffs, or substantive legal issues are identified in the text or voting history.
