概要

 Alabama's legislative session advances with key bills shaping policy and economy. The Senate passed a measure sponsored by Senators Donnie Chesteen and Troy Stubbs prohibiting state agencies from adopting environmental rules stricter than federal standards, requiring best available science where none exists, now headed to the House, according to JD Supra's legislative update. Companion bills by Senator Andrew Jones and Representative Leigh Hulsey tighten data center tax incentives, cutting abatements from 30 to 20 years starting 2027 and ending state sales tax breaks post-service, advancing in committees to protect ratepayers amid AI-driven growth, Maynard Nexsen reports. Public Service Commission reform by Senator Bobby Singleton and Representative Chip Brown shifts to appointments over elections for stability, while Save Our Bay legislation mandates 70 percent beneficial use of Mobile Bay dredged material and awaits the governor's signature.

Economic wins spotlight growth. Huntsville City Council approved a $6 billion Eli Lilly campus at I-565 and Greenbrier Parkway, creating 450 jobs at $112,700 average salary plus 3,000 construction roles, the city's largest development, per Huntsville government news. Birmingham secured a $2 million state SEEDS Act grant for Ensley Works and Birmingport sites, funding master plans and improvements to attract logistics and manufacturing, Mayor Randall Woodfin announced via Bham Now.

Education infrastructure shines with Doster Construction completing Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City, a 215,000-square-foot facility featuring gyms, auditorium, storm shelter, and athletics, ready for students. Gulf Shores High School nears 95 percent completion. Mobile leaders advanced Rangeline Road maintenance and Springdale Boulevard ditch repairs for safer infrastructure, City of Mobile pre-council notes.

No major weather events reported recently.

Looking Ahead: The House reconvenes February 17 at 1 p.m., Senate at 3 p.m., tackling PSC reforms, lottery push via Representative Phillip Ensler's Clean Lottery Act, and over 760 filed bills. Eli Lilly site work starts soon; watch data center debates.
