This year, lawmakers will be deciding what to do with $1.1 billion in federal American Rescue Plan Act money. She has called lawmakers into special session starting Wednesday to create a plan for that money.“A paycheck does not go as far as it did two years ago. That is why I am calling on you to put nearly a billion dollars back into the hands of hardworking, taxpaying Alabamians through one-time rebates of $400.
Ivey will need the legislature to go along with these proposals. But some action she can take on her own. She says on Wednesday, she will issue an executive order to help small businesses cut red tape. She says she will reduce regulations by 25% and lower the prepaid sales tax burden that they face. The session is expected to last into June. While the legislature will consider Ivey’s proposals, lawmakers are only required to pass the General Fund and Education Trust Fund budgets.
