With End of The Session Legislators Hit the Campaign Trail

Both chambers of the Alabama Legislature have adjourned "sine die" for the 2026 session. That means the hectic 30 meeting days of this year's legislative session are over. Now comes the impact from bills passed and signed into law by Gov. Ivey. Also in question is the future of legislation that died. Will we see them reborn next year or are the relegated to the trash bin of failed ideas?

House Speaker Nathenial Ledbetter summed up the session, "“We have delivered more than $1.5 billion in meaningful tax relief to working families, charting a clear path toward eliminating the grocery tax while easing financial burdens on seniors and small businesses. We have strengthened public safety by backing our law enforcement officers and enacting tougher, more effective laws to hold fentanyl traffickers, human traffickers and those who harm children fully accountable. And we have positioned Alabama’s economy as one of the strongest in the Southeast, driven by pro-growth policies, workforce development and strategic investments that are attracting jobs and opportunity to every corner of our state."

Some bills received bipartisan support, some single party backing and others, well, they were either voted down, or time ran out on them in the session.

One of the most controversial bills of the entire session was House Bill 541, that would have limited participation in primary elections to only those registered with a political party. Under the bill, Alabamians would choose their political party affiliation when they register to vote. it didn't make the cut.

Now lawmakers have to live with their actions as they hit the party primary campaign trail.

Here are the bills that were acted on during the final week of the session. (NOTE: The list includes on bills of statewide implication or legislation sponsored by members of the West Alabama Legislative Delegation):
