Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); supporting the creation of a bicameral HBCU Legislative Caucus

HJR 47 is a resolution supporting the creation of a bicameral Alabama legislative caucus focused on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). It does not fund or change existing laws but establishes a formal forum where Alabama legislators (Senate and House members) can collaborate on HBCU-related issues. The resolution outlines four guiding principles for the caucus: advocating for fair funding, partnering to create opportunities, informing lawmakers about HBCU challenges, and promoting HBCUs' economic value. This caucus would be open to any interested state legislators and would meet to advance HBCU interests, though it has no authority to enact legislation.
