A recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling that was negatively impacting access to IVF services in the state resulted in an uproar around Alabama (and the country) and made multiple national news broadcasts and headlines. Last week, Governor Ivey signed into law legislation to protect IVF in the state; the bill enjoyed almost unanimous support in the legislature.
Governor Ivey also signed the school choice bill, making Alabama one of 15 states offering parents and students expanded educational options.
And deja vu: Gambling is on a rocky road (again). The Senate passed gambling legislation, but the two-bill package is vastly different from the gambling bill passed earlier by the House. The ball is now in the House’s court; the next few weeks will tell if the issue of legalized gambling will, yet again, fail to make it to the ballot for a people’s vote.
