HB593
168302-1:n:04/28/2015:LFO-RR*/bdl HB593 By Representative Johnson (K) RFD Ways and Means General
Fund Rd 1 30-APR-15 SYNOPSIS: Existing law requires that sales of automobiles, motorcycles,
trucks, truck trailers, or semi-trailers that will be registered or titled outside of Alabama,
that are exported or removed from Alabama within 72 hours by the purchaser or his or her agent
for first time use outside Alabama are not subject to the Alabama sales tax. This bill would
amend this section thereby providing that such sales are subject to the Alabama automotive
sales tax unless the state in which the purchaser will title or register the vehicle allows
an Alabama resident to purchase a motor vehicle for first titling and registration in Alabama
without the payment of tax to that state. This bill also provides for exclusions to the drive
out provision and for the publication of a list of states that do not allow this provision.

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,...
