AI Summary
HR1068 - 2010 Shroud Award Resolution
-
Designates House Bill 336 (proposing "Stars Fell On Alabama" as the state song) as the recipient of the 2010 Shroud Award, a satirical Alabama House tradition honoring the "deadest bill of the session."
-
Lists several runner-up bills including HB 81 (record expungement), HB 426 (railroad labor camp hygiene), HBs 542, 543, and 680 (nonpartisan judicial elections), and HB 814 (bed bug control in multi-family dwellings).
-
Awards the Shroud to Representative Johnny Mack Morrow's bill, which attempted to change Alabama's official state song through a statewide cyberspace election among twenty-plus ballads mentioning Alabama.
-
Notes that a one-time rule change made the prior year's Shroud Award winner ineligible to win again and acknowledges the award as a long-standing sine die custom dating to 1979.
