HR325 is a House resolution establishing the Special Order Calendar for the Alabama House of Representatives for the twenty-seventh legislative day, Thursday, April 2, 2026. Upon adoption, it sets out a specific list of bills and resolutions to be taken up immediately and in a designated order, giving them precedence over the regular calendar and any pending or unfinished business.
The resolution does not change substantive law itself. Instead, it is a procedural measure that organizes floor consideration of a series of measures spanning education, natural resources, taxation, insurance, criminal justice, solid waste, agriculture, parole, disability parking, cosmetology, sick leave for education employees, license plates, school lands, sex education, municipal licensing, retirement systems, and ethics. Its legal effect is limited to scheduling and prioritizing legislative business in the House.
HR325 affects legislative procedure rather than state statutes. By creating a special order calendar, it determines which bills will be heard and in what sequence on the specified legislative day, potentially accelerating consideration of the listed measures and influencing which proposals advance. It does not amend, repeal, or create any Alabama code provisions on its own, but it can materially affect the timing and likelihood of action on the included bills.
The available record shows little controversy around HR325 itself. The resolution was adopted by voice vote, which suggests general agreement or at least no recorded opposition on the procedural motion. Because the measure is a scheduling resolution, discussion appears to have focused on managing the House agenda rather than debating policy substance.
There is no direct evidence of contention over HR325 in the provided materials, and no committee transcript or recorded vote breakdown is available. Any disagreement would more likely concern the underlying bills placed on the special order calendar, such as education policy, parole, taxation, ethics, or sex education, rather than the resolution setting the calendar itself. The resolution functions as an agenda-setting tool, so the main practical issue is which bills receive priority, not the resolution’s own content.
