MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WDNews) – Governor Kay Ivey is highlighting key victories from Alabama’s latest legislative session, with major bills signed into law focused on public safety, education, and election integrity.
Governor Ivey made public safety her top priority this session, and by working with lawmakers across party lines, she successfully pushed several bills aimed at protecting Alabama communities. One of the final pieces of her Safe Alabama package — the “Back the Blue” bill — was passed on the last day of the session. The Senate took it up first, and House members stayed late into the evening to ensure it made it to the Governor’s desk just as she requested.
In addition to public safety, Ivey touted education reform through the FOCUS Act, a bill she says helps build the best learning environment possible for Alabama students. The governor also noted continued efforts to curb illegal immigration and reinforce the state’s election system.
“Governor Ivey continues to get important and meaningful work done for the people who call Alabama home,” a release stated. “And she’s not done yet.”
