Nordgren RFD Judiciary Rd 1 16-APR-15 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, penalties may be assessed
against a person who brings certain types of legal proceedings that are determined to be frivolous,
unfounded, or without substantial justification. This bill would provide that reasonable attorney

SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, the district court has jurisdiction over cases where the amount
in controversy is $10,000 or less, and the small claims division of the district court has
jurisdiction over cases where the amount in controversy does not exceed $3,000. Under existing
law, a plaintiff filing a case in the district court is charged a filing fee. The amount of
the filing fee is less for cases filed in the small claims division of the district court.
This bill would increase the jurisdiction of the small claims division of the district court
to cover all cases where the amount in controversy is $6,000 or less. This bill would revise
the filing fee and filing fee distribution statutes to reflect the new jurisdiction of the
small claims division, but would keep the filing fees and distribution of filing fees at the
same amounts as before the revisions provided in this act. A BILL TO BE...

and Forestry Rd 1 12-MAR-15 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, the Department of Conservation and

department rules, paddlefish harvesting has been limited, with only 15 commercial paddlefish
licenses issued for harvesting from February 1, 2015, to March 21, 2015. This bill would require

This bill would allow the department to issue up to 60 resident licenses and five nonresident
licenses at any given time, with current commercial paddlefish license holders allowed to

and Commissions Rd 1 18-MAR-15 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, the practice of psychology is
regulated by the Board of Examiners in Psychology, which is comprised of members appointed
by the Governor. Existing law establishes the process and requirement for being licensed to
practice psychology in the state. This bill would clarify that the board is comprised of eight
members and that one of those members shall be primarily engaged in teaching, research, or
administration. This bill would revise the process for a licensee to request that the board
designate a license as inactive to authorize the board to assess an inactive licensee fee.
This bill would require an applicant for a license to submit fingerprints and execute criminal
history information release and would require the Alabama Bureau of Investigation to forward
the fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This bill would...

services including dyslexia-specific intervention. Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama

and Tourism Rd 1 31-MAR-15 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, premium tax credits are authorized
under the Certified Capital Company program to investors who contribute capital to certified
capital companies. This bill would create the Alabama Small Business Investment Act to replace
references to certified capital companies with Alabama small business investment companies
and would further define the term community outreach as it relates to these companies. This
bill would further provide for application procedures for the Alabama small business investment
companies and would further provide for the decertification of an Alabama small business investment
