Alabama GOP Salutes Legislature Following Passage of Three Priority Bills

The Alabama House of Representatives secured significant conservative victories on Thursday by passing three more ALGOP Legislative Priority bills.

1. SB48 – Parents Right to Know: Sponsored by Senate Pro Tem Greg Reed, SB48 champions parental rights through greater transparency in school curricula. This legislation ensures that parents have unrestricted access to their children’s course of study and related materials, allowing them to be in the driver’s seat of their child’s education.
2. SB129 – Banning Taxpayer Funding of DEI Programs: Sponsored by Senator Will Barfoot, SB129 blocks taxpayer funding for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Additionally, it designates bathrooms in public institutions based on biological sex.
3. SB1 – Protecting Election Integrity: Sponsored by Senator Garlan Gudger, SB1 fortifies election integrity by reforming the Absentee Voting process to guarantee the security and integrity of every ballot, ensuring that no one’s vote is lost or stolen.

This legislative success follows on the heels of the historic school choice bill passed just one day prior and already signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey. 

“The Alabama Republican Party is committed to advancing legislation that underscores our commitment to safeguarding election integrity, empowering parents in their children’s education, and ensuring responsible use of taxpayer dollars. We are thankful to Senator Garlan Gudger, Senate Pro Tem Greg Reed, and Senator Will Barfoot, along with all members of the Alabama Legislature, for their dedication to advancing these critical initiatives. Their work and leadership on these important issues have propelled Alabama forward on the path that reinforces the state’s reputation as a beacon of conservative values. Each of these bills represent a common sense approach to issues we are facing,” said Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl.

The Alabama Republican Party remains steadfast in its commitment to championing legislation that reflects the principles and priorities of the people of Alabama.
