Representative Hill described the program to the committee as \"a collaborative effort between our schools, our probation officers, our mental health, and our juvenile court system,\" and said the bill would let full-time day-program employees \"opt into the teacher retirement program with the day program plan\" that includes employer and employee shares. Representative Hill added the bill \"would have a retirement. It's just a way for us to get another benefit to our folks.\"

Committee members asked whether the bill allows purchase of prior service and who would pay the cost. A committee questioner asked, \"Do the employees have to put in their share of that as well?\" Representative Hill said if the program \"were to choose to do that, they have not chosen to do that, but if they do they would pay the cost.\" He also said, \"My understanding, sir, is it all be born by the by the day program itself,\" while noting the program had not yet decided whether to purchase prior service.

Senator Orr said he was \"going to abstain today\" on the committee vote because he wanted to do more due diligence on potential costs. The committee recorded one abstention: Senator Elliott stated she would abstain. Other senators recorded as voting \"aye\" included Senator Kelly; Senator Roberts; Senator Stewart; and Senator Butler. The committee announced the bill \"came out favorable.\" The transcript does not identify a motion mover or seconder by full name.

The bill as discussed is prospective and would allow participating employees to enroll going forward; committee members indicated the bill would not retroactively obligate employees. The transcript does not include the bill text, fiscal note, or an explicit funding mechanism; committee members asked questions about cost but no fiscal figures were provided on the record.","The committee gave a favorable report to House Bill 44, which would permit full-time employees of a Sacred County day program to opt into the teacher retirement system and allows purchase of prior service; funding of prior-service purchases remained undecided in committee discussion.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6616631,"Committee approves bill to remove deference to administrative rulings",40,205000,245000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2851644-df00abbcc7cb982526200ecb52af4ede&start=205&end=245","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2851644-df00abbcc7cb982526200ecb52af4ede/thumbnail_205000.jpg","/articles/6616631/Alabama/Committee-approves-bill-to-remove-deference-to-administrative-rulings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6616631-f7ba5f2517c278ce4c92c82888c9c8f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146277&Signature=UaLATlKk8qYntTYZnz9xJNMZCV9OauKn-CQ5v9TwdpUH8sYkY65joESG0SuRTUqi9Dv9Jsunceb6oiAjasFfEreFFXzRd25P7PB4u81fQOrS2a4tsw6H-XBb7nq~43tu25G6O3kfXvNf3y28VGNFFmx3C-Gn7tzxMcMYooE-PqC4EXfyJ3K9Yf56u8Xb1Z75FPf4T3iM1pyBMzQ8qLS0RMG9B2oZT2KTz~VUztIsje~~eOnV69JcgnocnuWV5VX6OOUvjeSH3YHVa3BaXuFkCYbGr1OzkbgMq2uQWwsM82FWZMit83pG-fvYSg50PASBFKVRxR5rs1TUvWx-dGApEQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate State Government Committee approved Senate Bill 248 at its meeting, advancing a measure that would eliminate a judicial presumption of deference to administrative-agency findings and require courts to consider such decisions \"afresh, based on the facts and the law.\"

Senator Orr, sponsor of Senate Bill 248, told the committee the bill responds to changes in U.S. Supreme Court precedent. \"The U. S. Supreme Court back in the 80s had a case called Chevron case where they basically said that, as government agencies make decisions...the court system was to give all due deference to the ruling or the findings of the agency,\" Orr said. He added that a decision last year in a case the transcript names \"Loper Bridal Enterprises\" overturned that practice and that the bill \"takes 1 paragraph out and puts 1 paragraph in and, basically takes away the...deference or the the deferral it would give to the administrative ruling and looks at it afresh, based on the facts and the law.\"

The committee voted to give the bill a favorable report. Senators recorded as voting \"aye\" during the roll call included Senator Coleman; Senator Coleman Madison; Senator Elliott; Senator Kelly; Senator Orr; Senator Roberts; and Senator Butler. The chair announced, \"The ayes win.\" The motion recorded was to issue a favorable report; the transcript does not specify the motion mover or seconder by full name.

The bill, as described in committee, would remove a statutory paragraph that the sponsor said previously produced deference to agency findings. The transcript does not include the bill text or the specific statutory citation being amended; committee members did not read the revised paragraph aloud during the recorded discussion.

Committee discussion on the measure consisted primarily of the sponsor's explanation of the policy purpose and a short question period. No formal amendments were recorded in the transcript. The committee record indicates the bill will proceed according to the chamber's next steps for reported measures.","The Senate State Government Committee gave a favorable report to Senate Bill 248, which would remove a judicial presumption of deference to administrative-agency findings and require courts to review agency decisions on the merits.","actionData","errors"]
