Senate journals are the official chronological record of the proceedings of the Senate, certified, indexed, and bound at the close of each session. The Senate journals contain information concerning: to which Senate committee each bill was assigned, committee reports, messages from the Governor, messages from the House, descriptions of Senate bills that were passed in the House, first, second, and third readings of bills and any bill amendments, how the bills were voted on, which bills passed the Legislature and were signed, and descriptions of Senate joint resolutions and House joint resolutions and how they were voted on. Alabama's Constitution requires each house to keep a journal. All actions taken by either house must be recorded in the journals, and on demand of one-tenth of the members the yeas and nays on any question must be entered. A member of either house may dissent from an action taken by the house and have the reason for dissenting entered into the journal.
