Senate committee gives favorable reports to three House bills on constables, agency name and campaign finance privacy
Summary
A Senate committee issued favorable reports for HB499 to amend statute for Mobile County constable restructuring, HB568 to update agency names from Department of Labor to Department of Workforce, and HB433 to redact residence/address data from campaign finance records.
A Senate committee gave favorable reports to three House bills during its session, moving each forward without extended debate.
Senator Sessions introduced House Bill 499, saying the measure is "very important" for Mobile County and would "restructure our constable" position by amending state statute to allow the change. Senator Chambliss moved to report the bill favorably and Senator Hovey seconded; after the roll call the committee recorded a favorable report.
Representative Sales presented House Bill 568 as a housekeeping bill, describing it as an action to change references in the code from the "Department of Labor" to the "Department of Workforce." The committee used the previous roll and gave the bill a favorable report.
House Bill 433, authored by Representative Hassell and handled in committee by another senator, was described as redacting personal residence and address information from candidates' and officials' campaign finance statements and official records. Senator Chambliss moved and the motion was seconded; the committee again returned a favorable report.
The transcript records motions, seconds, and favorable reports for each bill but does not record further debate, amendments, or a full chamber vote in the provided excerpt. The committee moved on to the next agenda item after the three favorable reports.
