    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.

    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.
