House registers of House resolutions, 1873-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122441027

House registers of House resolutions are a House record of all House resolutions presented before the House within a specific session. Resolutions, unlike bills, do not result in new law but can be used by the drafter to accomplish any of the following functions: express policy (clarify legislative intent, commemorate, express feelings on issues of national or state importance); amend Alabama's constitution; amend legislative rules; mandate study items; provide for administrative details; express congratulations; commendation, or sympathy; take action on federal constitutional issues. The House resolutions are listed in numerical order, with description, and the name of the member of the House who introduced the resolution. Once presented, the resolutions are voted on, and if passed, the date on which it was passed and the word "signed" will appear below the resolution description.
