This year’s legislative session saw discussions centered on education, infrastructure, and workforce development. Efforts to expand pathways for college and career readiness, including increased funding for dual enrollment programs, remain a bipartisan focus, but several major bills are likely to resume debate in 2026 as fiscal constraints continue to shape legislative priorities, according to All4Ed’s legislative review. Meanwhile, the issue of tort reform remains paramount for many small businesses, with the National Federation of Independent Business prioritizing measures to curb frivolous lawsuits costing Alabama’s economy billions of dollars.
On the economic front, Alabama climbed to 19th place in CNBC’s 2025 Top States for Business rankings, up one spot from last year. CNBC and Alabama Political Reporter attribute this jump largely to workforce improvements, resulting from expanded job training and apprenticeship opportunities. The cost of living in Alabama also saw a notable rise in affordability, now ranked 6th nationally, although the state slipped to 28th for infrastructure. State leaders hope that the newly enacted Alabama Energy Infrastructure Bank, a billion-dollar financial initiative under the Powering Growth Act, will help modernize the energy grid and address concerns about capacity for future industrial growth.
Community news is highlighted by the expansion of Alabama’s nationally recognized First Class Pre-K program. Governor Ivey’s administration announced the addition of 58 new classrooms for the 2025-2026 academic year, bringing the total state-wide to more than 1,500. The Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education has raised grant funding by 30 percent since 2022, helping attract more qualified teachers and improve classroom quality. The First Class Pre-K program continues to be lauded as a national model for early childhood education.
Public safety remains in the spotlight. The mayor of Homewood is calling for the release of body camera footage following a police shooting that left an 18-year-old dead – a story that underscores continuing debates around transparency in law enforcement.
No significant adverse weather events have been reported for Alabama in recent days, allowing residents to focus on these civic, educational, and economic developments.
Looking ahead, listeners should watch for the upcoming special election in House District 13 and potential movement on tort reform legislation when the legislature reconvenes in February. The continued rollout of expanded pre-K could shape future workforce trends, and infrastructure funding decisions are likely to remain in the news as leaders seek ways to secure Alabama’s future growth.
