From the Office of Governor Kay Ivey:
As Governor Ivey signed the last of the bills on her desk today, the
2025 Regular Session of the Alabama Legislature is officially a wrap!
This Session, the Legislature introduced close to 1,500 pieces of
legislation. In total, Governor Ivey signed 287 bills into law and 147
resolutions. Every one of the bills the governor authored were passed
and signed into law.
Governor Ivey had an impressive legislative session, and she was able to
deliver several wins for Alabamians.
* With the very first bill she signed into law this Session, the What
is a Woman bill, she further protected our Alabama family values.
* At the governor’s state of the state address, she highlighted Army
veteran Jae Barclay who endured unimaginable circumstances and stated we
had to better serve veterans like him. With the Legislature, she signed
into law legislation that transforms how our state government serves
veterans and their families.
* She championed the bill to provide long-overdue paid parental leave
for our teachers and state workers.
* Working with the budget chairmen, the governor wisely invested in
core functions of government and our students’ education.
* The governor established more tools for our officials in Baldwin and
Mobile counties to protect our Gulf of America visitors.
* Governor Ivey continued to provide tax relief for Alabamians.
* The governor took even more steps to crack down on illegal
immigration and strengthened our elections.
* With the FOCUS Act, Governor Ivey led efforts to create the best
learning environment for our students.
* Going into the Session, Governor Ivey stated bolstering public safety
would be her number one priority, and in working with legislators on
both sides of the aisle, she signed into law several bills to do just
that.
And on the last day of Session, as the Safe Alabama public safety
package rounded out in the Legislature, the Senate took up and voted on
her priority bill, the Back the Blue bill, and then the House members
stayed in Montgomery for hours to simply get it to her desk as she
called for. Governor Ivey continues to get important and meaningful work
done for the people who call Alabama home. And she’s not done yet!
