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.

Take the opportunity this 2020 legislative session to inform your legislators how much their support means to the vitality of your library.

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. Sen. Vivian Figures takes a moment to pose with APLS staff at the Alabama Library Association Legislative Day in May 2019 Rep.

  • 2020 Regular Session: Legislators Return to Positive Financial Forecast
    THE FINE GEDDIE REPORT 2020 REGULAR SESSION · WEEK ONE FEBRUARY 7, 2020 LEGISLATORS RETURN TO POSITIVE FINANCIAL FORECAST Alabama’s 2020 Regular Session began this week on an upbeat note, as official budget projections showed healthy revenue growth to support routine operations and new initiatives. The state already boasted record low unemployment of 2.7 percent, and the Education Trust Fund budget for the current year reached an all-time high with appropriations totaling $7.1 billion. However, that record is going to be short-lived, since $7.5 billion is available to appropriate for fiscal year 2021, with sales and income taxes driving revenue growth. In addition, $513 million is available to appropriate from the technology fund. All in, over $900 million is available for education. In addition, Gov. Kay Ivey has proposed a $1 billion bond issue for education institutions. In one of the few states with multiple operating budgets, Alabama’s General Fund budget is dominated by just two agencies: Medicaid and corrections. Prisons are proving to be a major pressure point on appropriations for next year because time is running out to alleviate overcrowding and other deficiencies before federal officials intervene. The 2020 General Fund budget totaled $2.2 billion, and an additional $400 million is available for 2021. In large part, the revenue growth is due to surging online sales and use tax, as well as increasing collections of insurance premium taxes. As indicated by Gov. Kay Ivey’s annual State of the State Address on Tuesday and her proposed 2021 budgets, the governor’s legislative priorities this year include: • Raises for teachers (3%) and state employees (2%); • Pre-K expansion; • Establishment of three mental health crisis centers and new incentives to improve access to healthcare in rural areas; • Enhanced rehabilitation, reentry and community corrections programs for inmates.
