6/12/2015 Group Watch: Another Session Ends
Last week, the Senate adjourned sine die, and the House met for the final allowed day of the regular session this week, bringing the 2015 regular session of the Alabama Legislature to a close. Notable bills that died this session included ones to permit limited operation of golf carts public streets and to require a burden of proof for grandparents to visit with grandchildren. We’ll have to wait and see if they pop up again next session. A special session is expected to begin in August and will focus on the General Fund budget and solutions to cover its shortfalls. Look for detailed coverage of the special session in future issues of Group Watch.
