Manufacture Alabama Committee Meeting

Today Governor Kay Ivey joined us at the Manufacture Alabama Governmental Affairs Committee meeting. Governor Ivey recently signed notable bills that passed in the House and Senate with bipartisan support. These include Act No. 2021-4, which provides a “safe harbor” for small and large businesses by preventing frivolous lawsuits related to COVID-19. Also, Alabamians who received CARES Act payments will not be taxed on those funds. A few priorities to note from her office include a 2% COLA for teachers and a fourth mental health crisis diversion center in the Birmingham/Tuscaloosa area. (Three already exist in Mobile, Montgomery, and Huntsville.) Thank you, Governor, for all you do. #Our67
