AL HR526

Designates House Bill 333 as the winner of the 2018 Shroud Award, an annual tradition established in 1979 recognizing the "deadest legislation" of the regular session.

HB 333 required vehicles to use lighted headlights between sunset and sunrise, changing the mandatory time from thirty minutes before sunrise/after sunset to exact sunset/sunrise times.

The bill appeared on three special order calendars and faced significant legislative opposition, with members threatening it would be the last bill of the session if it proceeded.

Representative Ritchie Whorton, the bill's sponsor, ultimately carried the bill over without a vote after encountering fierce debate and opposition.

Requests Representative Ritchie Whorton to accept the symbolic shroud award, with a photo to be distributed to all House members.
