Legislative Committee on Reapportionment; appointment of members to committee revised
SB 39 changes who appoints Senate members to Alabama's Permanent Legislative Committee on Reapportionment. Currently, the Lieutenant Governor appoints the three Senate members; this bill would transfer that authority to the Senate President Pro Tempore. The committee handles redistricting following the U.S. census, and this change affects only the appointment process for Senate representation on the committee. The bill does not alter the committee's duties or membership size.
