Edited by Ryan Godfrey February 2020 Get involved. SPECIAL ISSUE 2019 was a banner year for alabama libraries. let’s make it even greater in 2020! In 2019, our state lawmakers chose to fund library State Aid at more than $1.00 per capita for the first time since 2009 because they understand how imperative quality public library services are to the health of Alabama’s communities large and small. Additionally, Alabama legislators thoughtfully chose to expand the Alabama Supercomputer Authority’s (ASA) role in providing blazing fast internet throughout the state to allow 116 public libraries to also tap into this broadband network. Take the opportunity this 2020 legislative session to inform your legislators how much their support means to the vitality of your library. Last year was a banner year, but the new year brings us a host of topics to discuss, including the census, suporting workforce development, and continued funding for the ASA broadband initiative. Alabama’s libraries impact communities, and 94 percent of people agree that a library improves the quality of life of the community they serve. Alabama public libraries APLS Director Nancy C. Pack presents the Bicentennial children’s book, Alabama: My Home Sweet Home! by Charles Ghigna, as a gift to provide access to fast broadband internet, prepare students Governor Ivey after she signs a proclamation supporting libraries for today’s competitive job market, offer STEM-learning activities, assist citizens in applying for government services, and enhance small business development.

In 2020, APLS is requesting a total of $12,530,191 in funding to ensure all citizens of Alabama have access to quality information and library services. These funds are divided into four categories: 1. State Aid: These state-approved funds go directly to public libraries and are based on per capita. At the present, State Aid is at $1.11 per capita. APLS is requesting funding at $1.13 cents per capita (an increase of 2 percent from previous year). $5,527,255. 2. Homework Alabama: State and federal funds are used to purchase this database. APLS is requesting $295,000 for the service, and federal matches this amount dollar for dollar. The requested amount represents level funding from the previous year. 3. APLS Operations: State funds provide operating expenses, supplies, minor building repairs, and federal match dollars also support the Library Development and the Blind and Physically Handicapped Library. APLS is requesting $3,592,958 for operations (an increase of 5 percent from previous year). 4. Alabama Virtual Library: State funds enable AVL to provide all students, teachers, and Alabama citizens with online access to essential library and information resources. AVL is requesting $3,570,000 for the service (an increase of 5 percent from previous year). Of note, a key legislator, Rep. Steve Clouse, is sponsoring an education lottery bill that will direct half of the revenues to Alabama pre-K with the other half going to needs-based college scholarships. When contacting state lawmakers, public libraries should voice a strong connection to education as this should be a big talking point throughout the entire legislative session. With emphasis of the lottery bill focusing on pre-K, it is vital to stress to state lawmakers how libraries reach the state’s youngest populations to aid in their social skills and speech development even before they are preschool-aged. Also, the Alabama Library Association (ALLA) Legislative Day is set for Thursday, March 26, and it will be held on the sixth floor of the Alabama State House. As always, we look forward to seeing you there, and encourage you to reach out ALLA to your representatives and voice your specific concerns.

    2021 Legislative Update Week 9

    2021 Legislative Update: Week 9 Overview Legislators returned to Montgomery this week after a planned Spring Break ready to begin the second half of the 2021 Regular Session. Representatives and Senators met for two legislative days this week with numerous committee meetings held on Wednesday. Legislators advanced bills relating to the habitual offender law, alcohol, vaping, medical marijuana, guns, and open records. Additionally, two legislative vacancies in Shelby County took one more step in getting filled. Habitual Offender Law A bill to repeal Alabama’s habitual offender law was favorably reported out of the House Judiciary Committee this week and is now in a position to be voted on by the full House. After a contentious discussion in committee, the legislation, House Bill 107 by Rep. Chris England of Tuscaloosa, was ultimately approved on a 9-5 vote. In addition to repealing the state’s Habitual Felony Offender Act, the bill also provides for resentencing for defendants whose sentences were based on the Habitual Felony Offender Act. Alcohol The House on Thursday passed two bills related to alcohol, sending one to the Governor and the other to the Senate. Senate Bill 126 by Sen. Jabo Waggoner of Vestavia Hills allows for the home delivery of beer, wine, and liquor. The deliveries can be from grocery stores, liquor stores, or restaurants, and must be made in accordance with strict protocols, including the requirement that a person 21 years or older must be present to receive the delivery. The legislation was strongly pushed by grocery delivery company Shipt, among other proponents. Managed in the House by Rep.

MCCORD, CLERK IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, ALABAMA LYNN PETTWAY, * * Plaintiff, * v. * CV- 2013-_______ * DEL MARSH, CHAD FINCHER, * GERALD DIAL and JAY LOVE, * * Defendants. * * COMPLAINT COMES NOW the Plaintiff, Lynn Pettway, and for his Complaint states as follows: 1. This is an action for declaratory and injunctive relief under the Alabama Open Meetings Act, Title 36, Chapter 25A, Ala. Code 1975 regarding the "Alabama Accountability Act," House Bill 84 (hereinafter "HB84") from the 2013 Regular Session of the Alabama Legislature, now Act 2013-64, signed by Governor Bentley on March 14, 2013. This is also an action for a declaratory judgment pursuant to §6-6-222, Ala. Code 1975. 2. The Alabama Open Meetings Act is an enactment of the Legislature pursuant to Section 282, Ala. Const. 1901, to give effect to Section 57, Ala. Const. 1901 (requiring open meetings of the Legislature) and Section 53, Ala. Const. 1901 (giving the Legislature authority to enforce obedience to its rules of procedure). The Legislature created a judicial remedy for violations of this Act and bestowed jurisdiction over such violations, including violations by the Legislature itself, to this Court pursuant to §36-25A-9, Ala. Code 1975. 3. Because the adoption of the bill designated HB84 violated multiple provisions of the Open Meetings Act, Plaintiff has filed this action within 21 days of those violations, Defendants have acted intentionally and not as the result of mistake, inadvertence, or excusable neglect, and no third party has taken action or changed his or her position in good-faith reliance on HB84 having been lawfully adopted, this Court has jurisdiction under §36-25A-9(f) to invalidate the adoption of HB84, and thus the enactment of Act 2013-64.
