Judge Backs Annual Legislative Sessions Amendment
Circuit Judge R L Hundley supports a June referendum to amend the Alabama Constitution to require annual legislative sessions. The Alabama Constitutional Commission report claims lower costs and improved efficiency with orderly bill introduction, while noting the current every other year schedule strains handling legislative business. Hundley criticizes opponents who favor log jams and filibusters and praises Sen Bingham Edwards for co sponsorship. The amendment caps regular sessions at 30 days in 105 days and special sessions at 12 days in 30 days.
