Legislation

We oppose HB111 and SB92. These bills establish a narrow definition of gender that seeks to erase the lived realities of transgender people and will be used to limit the rights of transgender, intersex, and gender non-conforming people in Alabama.

SB1 1 will make it a felony for absentee ballot applications or ballots to be distributed, ordered, requested, collected, etc. by a person other than the absentee voter.

House Bill 27 provides relief to approximately 33 people on Alabama’s death row who had juries that voted to sentence them to life without parole.

House Bill 33 would allow incarcerated people the option to attend and participate in their parole hearing virtually.

Senate Bill 4 would make it a misdemeanor to display an unapproved flag on any public property.

SB2 proposes an amendment to the Alabama Constitution requiring public K-12 schools to sanction the performance of the Star-Spangled Banner at least once per week.

Senate Bill 10 would provide that library boards no longer exercise freedom in their operation once they are appointed by governing bodies.

SB13 proposes an amendment to the Alabama Constitution that would protect individuals’ rights to make and carry out their own reproductive decisions.
