HB142
164990-1::03/03/2015:EBO-MEJ/mej HB142 By Representative Hill (M) RFD Ways and Means Education
Rd 1 05-MAR-15 SYNOPSIS: Under current law, each entity, subject to the Alabama corporate
income tax, is required to file a separate return and calculate the income tax on its separately
accounted for taxable income, regardless whether the entity is part of a larger business that
consists of an affiliated group of entities. This filing method allows large corporate taxpayers
to take advantage of tax planning options to shift income to other entities within the affiliated
group located in tax favorable states. Most large corporate businesses consist of a parent
corporation and a number of corporate subsidiaries. This bill would amend the corporate income
tax law to require the operations of all related entities, involved in a unitary business,
file one corporate income tax return on a combined basis, known as combined reporting. A BILL

Finance Rd 1 05-MAR-15 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, the Open Meetings Act of 2005 specifically
applies to quorums of committees and subcommittees of governmental bodies. In 2012, the Alabama
Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled that the Open Meetings Act did not apply to a series
of committee or subcommittee gatherings at which discussions were conducted on matters that
would later come before the full governmental body. In 2013, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled,
in a 5-3 decision, that citizens do not have standing to bring suits under the Open Meetings
Act if the civil penalty is paid to the state and there is no allegation of a likelihood of
future violations. Also in 2013, the Alabama Supreme Court stated that there is no requirement
that the Alabama Legislature hold open meetings. This bill would define and prohibit serial
meetings. This bill would further define deliberation,...
