March 4, 2024 Group Watch: News & Views from the State House
Legislators returned to session last Tuesday to news of an explosive device found and detonated (by authorities) at the Alabama Attorney General’s office over the weekend. No one was hurt, and the matter is now under investigation, so stay tuned.
Despite the incident, the legislature quickly got to work to ensure couples can continue to pursue in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the state, with both chambers passing bills to protect IVF services last week. The legislation came in response to the outcry from both state leaders and residents across Alabama (and beyond), who voiced sentiments ranging from concern to vocal disapproval of an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that threatened access to IVF services.
Other big-ticket topics like school choice and the future of Birmingham Southern College also made progress last week.
