Senate committee advances several bills including SB274, SB282 and SB277 amendments
Summary
The Senate committee gave favorable consideration to SB274 (exempting certain beauty services from licensure), heard SB282 (manufactured-home title changes), and approved clarifying amendments to SB277 concerning digital activity and distributed-ledger language.
A Senate committee moved several bills forward after brief presentations and technical amendments.
Senator Weaver described SB274 as a measure that "exempts makeup application and blow drying from licensure," specifying the bill does not touch chemical treatments. The committee gave SB274 a favorable report and called the roll; the transcript records multiple 'Aye' votes and no recorded objections.
The committee also heard SB282, carried for Senator Singleton, which would authorize the Alabama Department of Revenue to issue certificates of title to owners of manufactured homes designated model year 1999 or earlier; the chair said the sponsor worked with the department on that language.
On SB277 the sponsor offered an amendment to narrow broad language by tying coverage to digital activity and explicitly referencing distributed-ledger technology and smart contracts; the committee adopted technical clarifications and used 'previous role' for procedural handling, with at least one senator noting a prior Zoom briefing helped him understand the bill.
Committee members thanked staff for providing informational briefings and the chair dismissed the committee after completing business.
