  • Spring Thaw in the Alabama Legislature Allows Bills to Start to Move
    MARCH 13, 2017 Spring Thaw in the Alabama Legislature Allows Bills to Start to Move The General Fund Budget made its first appearance last week as the spring thaw hit the Alabama State House and some important bills started to move. Gov. Robert Bentley’s prison bill also started to stir, although not in the form he had originally introduced. Last Thursday, the Alabama Senate Judiciary approved a compromise bill by Committee Chairman Cam Ward (R-Alabaster) to build new state prisons by borrowing $755 million for constructing as many as three new prisons and renovating others. Gov. Robert Bentley had proposed an $800 million bond issue for 4 new prisons. While altering the bottom line of Gov. Bentley’s funding bill by $25 million, Chairman Ward’s substitute bill would also strike certain “design-build” language and replace it with language to establish a more traditional state bidding process. Chairman Ward’s bill would create an opportunity for local communities to build their own prisons, which the Alabama Department of Corrections could then lease and makes it more likely that the existing women’s prison in Elmore County will be renovated and not rebuilt. Although the Judiciary Committee approved Chairman Ward’s bill, there is disagreement within the Alabama Senate in particular and the Alabama Legislature in general about the best way to solve Alabama’s decades-long prison problem. Not helping are pending lawsuits in federal court that put tremendous pressure on the state to act on reducing overcrowding and on addressing mental health treatment deficiencies within the prison system.

This is your map to navigate the sometimes confusing, never boring Alabama legislative session. In these pages you’ll find a legislative directory, simple ways you can get involved, and good ol’ basic information on what you need to know. Yes this is new…in fact, we are trying several new things to make pharmacy’s voice stronger in AL. Maybe you’ve heard…APA has a new Government Affairs Director, our very own Bobby Giles, R.Ph. We are thrilled that we will have a pharmacist at the statehouse lobbying on your behalf this session! However, it is critical YOU are informed of the issues and that YOU are involved in the process – the voice of pharmacy is only as strong as YOU make it. To make it easier for you, we’ve sent you a booklet separate from our journal that has all you need to know in one convenient place. We hope you will keep this guide and use it over and over during the year. Learn who your legislators are and reach out to them on the issues that matter to pharmacy. Nothing is more powerful to an elected official than the input of concerned and involved constituents!
