Alabama Law Institute REPORT TO THE ALABAMA LEGISLATURE AND INSTITUTE MEMBERSHIP 2020-2021 HONORABLE CAM WARD, PRESIDENT REPORT TO THE ALABAMA LEGISLATURE AND INSTITUTE MEMBERSHIP 2020-2021 Alabama Law Institute The Law Revision Division of Legislative Services Agency www.lsa.state.al.us Alabama State House Law Center Suite 207 Room 326 11 South Union Street P.O. Box 861425 Montgomery, AL 36130 Tuscaloosa, AL 35486 (334) 261-0680 (205) 348-7411 Alabama Law Institute ROOM 326 LAW CENTER SUITE 207, STATE HOUSE TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA PHONE (205) 348-7411 PHONE (334) 261-0680 WWW.LSA.STATE.AL.US FAX (334) 242-8411 February 2021 TO: The Alabama Legislature and Alabama Law Institute Membership It is my pleasure to submit the Alabama Law Institute’s Annual Report to the Alabama Legislature and ALI Membership. The Alabama Law Institute is the official law revision and reform agency for the State of Alabama. Its purpose is to aid the Legislature in proposing and drafting clearer, simpler, and more up-to-date laws. This year, the Legislature will be asked to consider a number of ALI bills that were unable to receive consideration last year due to the 2020 session being cut short by COVID-19. The Business Entities Revisions Act was the singular major piece of ALI legislation that had an opportunity to become law. Therefore, ALI bills on subjects such as government procurement, court costs, subdivisions, non-disparagement obligations, trusts, subdivisions, and child custody will once again be presented. Also, the Business Entities and Trust standing committees of the ALI are proposing some non-substantive, technical changes to the Business Entities Act and the Decanting Act. A copy of these drafts and pending bills in the Legislature will be available at the Law Institute office in Suite 207 of the State House. We wish to express our sincere gratitude to the more than 180 lawyers across Alabama who have served on Law Institute committees and have donated more than 3,300 hours of their time to these important projects. It is the hope of the Law Institute staff to always be of assistance to members of the Legislature. If the Institute can help you, please call Deputy Director David Kimberley or Othni Lathram – who serves as Director. The continued cooperation of all members of the Institute and the Legislature will ensure that the Law Institute will continue to provide an important service to the Legislature and the people of the State of Alabama. Finally, with my recent appointment as Director of the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles, this will be my last annual report to you as President of the Institute. My time in this office has been a distinct honor. Working with the Council and Membership has been a highlight of my professional career. Thank you so much for having allowed me the privilege to serve in this capacity. Carry on – and keep up the good work!

    Alabama Jobs Act

    ALABAMA JOBS ACT A REPORT TO THE ALABAMA LEGISLATURE 2017 BY THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC INCENTIVES Representative Alan Baker, Chairman Senator Arthur Orr, Vice Chairman President Pro Tem Del Marsh Speaker Mac McCutcheon Senator Tripp Pittman Representative Steve Clouse Senator Greg Reed Representative Kelvin Lawrence Senator Phil Williams Representative Bill Poole Commerce Secretary Greg Canfield – (Consultant) Joint Legislative Advisory Committee on Economic Incentives Jobs Act Report -2017 Mr. Greg Canfield presented to the Committee on Tuesday, January 23, 2018. Mr. Canfield stated that the data in his presentation is from July 2015 through December 2017. These numbers do not reflect the recent Toyota-Mazda announcement. Under the Alabama Jobs Act, the State has closed projects in 33 of Alabama’s 67 counties and has offered projects in 49 counties. It was pointed out that the counties that have not had any projects offered have some challenges not always presented in other counties. Mr. Canfield stated that a lack of local incentives would certainly be a part of any assessment on these counties. These counties are all “targeted” counties which includes additional incentives. Mr. Canfield noted that some of these counties are limited by a small population which restricts the size of projects. The largest project that has been awarded to a targeted county has created 222 jobs in Bibb County. In total, the Alabama Jobs act has created 718 jobs in the targeted counties with capital investment totaling $398.5 million for these counties. While there are some great successes here, it was admitted that we still have work to do for these targeted counties.

LEFLARtt To talk about "the quality of judges" implies there are some judges whose quality is good and others who are not so good. Of course there is more than one standard for determining whether a judge is "good." A standard sometimes applied makes quality depend on whether the judge decides for or against the one who is doing the talking about the judge, but that is a standard seldom used, at least by lawyers who have a fair amount of practice. More common among lawyers is a standard under which every judge, during the whole period that he remains on the bench, is a good judge.

    2019 Regular Legislative Session Final Report

    CHRISTI ESTRATEGYGROUP City of Gulf Shores 2019 Regular Legislative Session Final Report The 2019 regular session of the Alabama legislature concluded on Friday 31 May 2019. The legislature passed the education trust fund and general fund budgets on time thanks to increased tax revenues and a significant one-time carry over in the Medicaid Budget. During the regular session, Governor Ivey called the legislature into a special legislative session to deal with the transportation infrastructure package called the Rebuild Alabama Act. The legislation passed within a short time frame due to strong bipartisan support among leaders and members in both chambers, as well as a strong grass roots lobbying effort led by the business community, chambers of commerce and others interested in growth and economic development in Alabama. Led by Senate President Pro Tern Del Marsh (R-Anniston), the legislature also approved an amendment to the state constitution to replace the state's elected Board of Education with an education commission appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate. Both chambers also approved SB 193 by Sen. Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) to restructure Alabama's unemployment compensation legislation, tying the number of weeks of unemployment benefits to unemployment rates and raising the maximum weekly benefit from $265 to $275 per week. HB 289 by Rep. Alan Baker (R-Brewton) also became law this session. The bill clarifies that professional economic developers and site 445 Dexter Avenue, Suite 4025 1 Montgomery, AL 36104 1(334) 264-0508 I www.christiestrategygroup.com selectors do not have to register as lobbyists.
