    Alabama's legislative session gained momentum this week as lawmakers advanced key bills during the third week of the 2026 Regular Session. According to the Alabama Reporter, 602 bills have been introduced, with 128 passing at least one chamber and 29 clearing both. Standout measures include the Child Predator Death Penalty Act, making first-degree rape or sexual torture of a child under 12 a capital offense, now headed to the Senate, and HB181 requiring 70 percent beneficial use of dredged material from Mobile Bay coastal areas. The House also passed the Laken Riley Act to boost state-local cooperation on federal immigration enforcement. Budget talks continue, with pending $3.7 billion General Fund and $9.9 billion Education Trust Fund proposals.

    Economically, Governor Kay Ivey highlighted a record-breaking 2025, with 234 projects driving $14.6 billion in investments and 9,388 new jobs, per the Alabama Department of Commerce report. Major wins include Eli Lilly's $6 billion Huntsville facility for pharmaceuticals, creating 450 jobs, and ArcelorMittal's $1.2 billion Mobile steel plant for EV motors. Rural areas shone too, with Georgia Pacific's $800 million Monroe County mill upgrade. Ivey recently approved $15.7 million in SEEDS grants for 21 industrial sites, accelerating infrastructure in counties like Colbert and Baldwin to attract more business.

  • Tragic Flood Claims Young Alabama Student as State Politics and Economy Navigate Steady Course
    2026/02/03
    Alabama listeners, in the heart of the state, top headlines capture a mix of tragedy and transition. Eight-year-old Sarah Marsh from Mountain Brook, a student at Cherokee Bend Elementary, tragically died in deadly Texas floods, with the death toll rising and campers still missing, according to Alabama Daily News. State Representative Debbie Wood, serving Lee and Chambers counties since 2018, announced her resignation from the House seat at month's end, also reported by Alabama Daily News. Meanwhile, Senator Merika Coleman plans a clean gambling bill for the legislative session, and bills targeting the AI boom are advancing, per the same source. Political eyes turn to the 2026 races, as columnist Steve Flowers notes anticipation building since late May decisions.

    In government and politics, the 2026 Regular Session ramps up with legislation tracking on LegiScan, though specific passed bills remain sparse. Local decisions include tax updates in Columbiana, where the Alabama Department of Revenue adjusted sales and use tax rates effective February 1, as Bloomberg Tax reports. No major policy overhauls dominate yet.

    Business and economy show steady gains, with State Superintendent Eric Mackey telling Alabama Daily News that education metrics are improving across multiple areas. Employment holds firm amid these trends, though no blockbuster developments emerge.

    Community news highlights education resilience amid loss, alongside Birmingham hosting the 2026 NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships, drawing top athletes to the city, per the City of Birmingham site. Infrastructure and public safety proceed quietly, with no standout incidents.
