Maddy summaryHB 82 proposes to increase the daily salary for members of Boards of Registrars. The bill aims to raise their compensation from $80 to $115 per day.

Additionally, the bill includes language to ensure registrars are treated as equals with other state and county boards.

Maddy summaryHB 578 requires local governments to approve new quarry projects before the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) can issue permits, shifting approval authority from the state to local authorities. The bill mandates that local governments review specific documents - including a traffic impact study, reclamation plan, and community advisory plan - and hold a public hearing before granting approval. After approval, local governments must establish an advisory board of residents and business owners to monitor the quarry's ongoing impact on the community. This directly affects quarry operators (who must seek local approval), local governments (who must review applications and hold hearings), and nearby residents (who gain input through public hearings and advisory boards).

Maddy summaryHB 30 requires county canvassing boards to conduct post-election audits by manually examining at least 30 randomly selected ballots per audit, comparing each to ballot counter results. This applies directly to county election officials responsible for certifying election results. The bill mandates that audits be completed by the deadline for certifying election returns to the Secretary of State. The changes replace specific sections of election law to standardize the audit process using random selection and manual verification.
