Legislature, legislative sessions divided into two periods; deadline for passing budget bills imposed; Governor veto procedures revised; constitutional amendment

HB 48 proposes a constitutional amendment to divide Alabama's annual legislative sessions into two distinct periods. The first period (February) must pass all budget bills before ending, requiring a special budget session if not completed. The second period (September) allows the legislature to reconsider bills vetoed by the governor during the first period. This amendment replaces outdated constitutional sections and modifies session timing and veto procedures for the Alabama legislature.
