 Alabama enters 2026 with a wave of new laws taking effect today, focusing on public safety and industry regulation. STL.News reports that expanded rules for hemp-derived products now require stricter licensing by the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, chemical testing, clear labeling, and a 10 percent excise tax under House Bill 445, aiming to protect consumers and limit youth access while legitimizing the market. Alabama Reporter confirms only licensed retailers like specialty shops and pharmacies can sell these items, with enforcement starting immediately to ensure compliance.

In politics, candidate qualifying for the 2026 election cycle opens January 5, as announced by both major parties in The Cullman Times. Races for governor and lieutenant governor heat up, with Senator Tommy Tuberville seeking the Republican nod and former U.S. Senator Doug Jones challenging as a Democrat, according to CBS 42. U.S. Rep. Dale Strong highlighted 2025 wins like securing Space Command in Huntsville and over $24 million in community funding for infrastructure such as sewer upgrades in Ardmore and Triana, per 256 Today.

Economically, Central Alabama Community College broke ground on a Center of Excellence for advanced manufacturing, cyber, and AI training at its Prattville Campus, aligning education with workforce needs in a shifting industrial landscape. Investments in NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal's Golden Dome missile defense underscore North Alabama's defense boom.

Community efforts shine in education and infrastructure. Talladega City Schools proposes a $50 million new high school and football complex at the former Zora Ellis site, seeking city sales tax support to consolidate grades seven through twelve and boost enrollment, as detailed by Sylacauga News. No major weather events disrupt the state this week.

Looking Ahead: Watch gubernatorial primaries, the ASCE Winter Meeting on February 26 in Mobile discussing coastal infrastructure, and hemp compliance impacts on businesses.
