THE ALABAMA
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The Alabama House of Representatives is comprised of 105 members. Each member represents a district of approximately 40,000 people. The members of the House are elected to four-year terms. Members of the House must be 21 at the time of their election, and must have been citizens of Alabama for three years, having lived in their respective districts for at least one year immediately preceding their election.
The Speaker of the House is a member of the body and is elected by his colleagues to serve as the presiding officer.
All revenue raising matters must originate in the House just as in the Congress of the United States. It takes a quorum of 53 members to conduct business, and a majority of a quorum can pass any bill except a constitutional amendment, which requires 63 votes. An appropriation to a non-government organization such as a private college requires a two-thirds vote of those elected.
