| All things must end, including lawmaking, and the Alabama Legislature’s 2022 regular session came to a close last week; on Thursday, the House and Senate adjourned Sine Die. High-profile bills like those to authorize gambling didn’t make it, while a bill concerning transgender medical treatments did.Several groups got raises, and a bill to put new limits and requirements on unemployment compensation was passed. And the requirements for Alabama students’ reading proficiency, passed in 2019, will now be delayed for a year if Governor Ivey signs that passed bill; it is expected that she will.
Going forward, Group Watch will return to its once-a-month schedule, so watch your inboxes for the next issue in mid-May. We’ll be back with weekly dispatches next year, when this all gets rolling again! |
