A Legislative Scorecard Based on the Principles of the U.S. Constitution

Votes


Illegal Migrant ID Prohibition  |  SB158

SB158 stipulates that driver’s licenses issued to foreign nationals (i.e., non‑U.S. citizens) may not be used as photo identification for voting purposes.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB158 on May 7, 2025 by a vote of 83 to 13. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this legislation helps safeguard election integrity by ensuring that only U.S. citizens may use valid photo identification to vote. By clearly distinguishing licenses issued to non-citizens and restricting their use for voting, SB158 upholds the principle that voting is reserved for citizens, and helps prevent potential fraud or confusion at the polls.

Hunger-free Campuses  |  HB273

HB273 directs the Alabama Commission on Higher Education to create a designation for qualified public two‑ and four‑year institutions as “hunger‑free campuses.” Eligible campuses must establish a hunger‑free task force, offer on‑campus food pantries or community pantry information, assist students with SNAP access, host awareness events, survey students every two years on food insecurity, and implement meal-credit donations or voucher programs. Designation lasts two years and may be renewed if criteria are met. Subject to legislative funding, campuses may apply for competitive grants to support “food‑insecurity” initiatives.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed HB273 on April 22, 2025 by a vote of 96 to 2. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill expands the role of government in higher education and encourages government dependency. While promoting charitable organizations such as food pantries is commendable, using taxpayer dollars through government grants and helping students apply for an unconstitutional program such as SNAP undermines personal responsibility and shifts the burden from individuals to the state. This sets a troubling precedent for further government involvement in areas that should remain private or charitable.

Don’t Say Gay  |  HB244

HB244 expands the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” restrictions to cover pre‑K through 12th grade. It bans any classroom instruction or discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity that’s not deemed age-appropriate according to state standards. The law also prohibits public-school employees from displaying LGBTQ+ flags or signage in classrooms or school property, and bars them from deliberately addressing a student with pronouns or titles inconsistent with the student’s biological sex at birth.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed HB244 on April 17, 2025 by a vote of 74 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because parents have the right—which the government has a duty to uphold—to protect their children from obscene, indecent, or profane activity, including LGBT+ gender-ideology-related content in the classroom. This right is retained under and guaranteed by the ninth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Scientifically and biblically, there are only two genders.

Consumer Protection  |  HB528

HB528 expands consumer-protection laws during declared states of emergency. Previously, it was unlawful to impose unconscionable prices only for the sale or rental of commodities or facilities during such emergencies. This bill, however, also prohibits imposing unconscionable prices for the provision of any service during a declared state of emergency.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed HB528 on April 9, 2025 by a vote of 96 to 1. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill expands government intervention in the economy under the guise of consumer protection. By expanding price-gouging laws to include services during declared emergencies, HB528 imposes arbitrary limits on what businesses can charge—undermining the market’s ability to respond to shifting supply and demand. Government-imposed price controls during emergencies risk creating service shortages, discourage entrepreneurship, and set a dangerous precedent for broader economic regulation during crises.

Real Money  |  SB130

SB130 authorizes refined gold and silver bullion, specie, or coins that are stamped with their weight and purity to be recognized as legal tender in Alabama.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB130 on April 1, 2025 by a vote of 102 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is an important step toward restoring sound, constitutional money and reestablishing the role of gold and silver as legal tender, in accordance with Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution.

Machine-gun Conversion Ban  |  SB116

SB116 makes it a Class C felony under Alabama law to possess, obtain, receive, sell, or use any part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert a pistol into a machine gun, commonly known as “Glock switches.” It defines a machine gun as any firearm that can fire more than one shot automatically with a single trigger function, including conversion parts or kits. While such devices are already illegal under federal law, SB 116 creates a state-level ban that empowers local law enforcement to prosecute offenders directly without relying on federal jurisdiction.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB116 on March 6, 2025 by a vote of 77 to 23. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill mirrors and reinforces an unconstitutional federal gun-control law, undermining state sovereignty. Furthermore, by criminalizing firearm components at the state level, SB116 infringes on the Second Amendment, which clearly states that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This legislation empowers the state to further erode God-given rights under the guise of public safety.

ERIC Ban  |  SB142

SB142 removes the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) as an approved database for identifying voters whose residential addresses may have changed. Instead, Alabama election officials must use the U.S. Postal Service’s National Change of Address database and at least one other voter-registration database to identify potential address changes. The law mandates that, beginning in February 2025 and every four years thereafter, registrars or the Secretary of State review change-of-address data, update voter records accordingly, and send verification notices. If no response is received within 90 days, the voter’s status becomes inactive, and unreturned notices are recorded in the statewide voter-registration database.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB142 on April 17, 2025 by a vote of 25 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill rightly removes Alabama from the ERIC, a secretive and controversial program with ties to left-wing organizations, including those funded by George Soros. ERIC has been criticized for its lack of transparency, misuse of private voter data, and failure to clean voter rolls—often inflating them instead. By replacing ERIC with more accountable and publicly available tools, Alabama is taking a necessary step toward restoring election integrity. States have both the right and the responsibility under Article I, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution to conduct free, fair, and secure elections.

Speed-enforcement Cameras  |  SB238

SB238 allows the Town of Kinston in Coffee County to use automated speed‑camera systems to issue civil citations (maximum $100 plus costs) for drivers exceeding speed limits by over 10 mph.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB238 on April 1, 2025 by a vote of 30 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because speed-enforcement cameras undermine due process by removing human oversight and presuming guilt before innocence, violating principles protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments. These systems also risk infringing on Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. They enable invasive surveillance, expand government overreach, and burden drivers with costly fines, all disguised as public-safety measures.

Machine-gun Conversion Ban  |  SB116

SB116 makes it a Class C felony under Alabama law to possess, obtain, receive, sell, or use any part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert a pistol into a machine gun, commonly known as “Glock switches.” It defines a machine gun as any firearm that can fire more than one shot automatically with a single trigger function, including conversion parts or kits. While such devices are already illegal under federal law, SB 116 creates a state-level ban that empowers local law enforcement to prosecute offenders directly without relying on federal jurisdiction.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB116 on March 18, 2025 by a vote of 24 to 2. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill mirrors and reinforces an unconstitutional federal gun-control law, undermining state sovereignty. Furthermore, by criminalizing firearm components at the state level, SB116 infringes on the Second Amendment, which clearly states that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This legislation empowers the state to further erode God-given rights under the guise of public safety.

Real Money  |  SB130

SB130 authorizes refined gold and silver bullion, specie, or coins that are stamped with their weight and purity to be recognized as legal tender in Alabama.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB130 on March 4, 2025 by a vote of 31 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is an important step toward restoring sound, constitutional money and reestablishing the role of gold and silver as legal tender, in accordance with Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution.

Immigration Enforcement  |  SB53

SB53 enhances immigration enforcement by requiring jail officials to verify the immigration status of detainees when reasonable suspicion exists. It creates two new state crimes: human smuggling and harboring undocumented immigrants. Human smuggling—knowingly transporting someone unlawfully present in the United States—is classified as a Class C felony.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB53 on February 13, 2025 by a vote of 24 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill strengthens state-level enforcement of immigration law and upholds the rule of law. By empowering local and state authorities to prosecute crimes such as human smuggling and harboring illegal aliens—without relying solely on federal agencies—SB53 reinforces Alabama’s sovereignty and deters criminal activity tied to illegal migration. This approach helps protect Alabama communities from the public safety, economic, and societal costs associated with unchecked illegal migration.

What is a Woman Act  |  SB79

SB79 amends Alabama law by explicitly defining sex-based terms such as “male,” “female,” “man,” “woman,” and related categories. It declares there are only two sexes—male and female—based on reproductive anatomy at birth, and that intersex conditions do not constitute a third sex. The law applies wherever state statutes classify individuals by sex, and requires vital statistics and public institutions to record everyone as either male or female as assigned at birth (with a narrow exception if biologically undetermined). It also permits state and local entities to establish single-sex spaces (including bathrooms, dorms, shelters, and school facilities) based on biology, privacy, safety, or fairness concerns.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB79 on February 6, 2025 by a vote of 26 to 5. We have assigned pluses to ayes because this bill codifies biological truth into state law. By clearly defining sex as male or female based on reproductive biology and removing so-called “gender identity” from legal consideration, SB79 pushes back against the radical Marxist and leftist agenda infiltrating public institutions and society. The bill affirms Alabama’s duty to defend reality, privacy, and common sense. Scientifically and biblically, there are only two sexes.

Prohibit Ranked-choice Voting  |  SB186

SB186 prohibits the use of ranked-choice voting (RCV) in Alabama for electing or nominating candidates to any local, state, or federal office.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB186 on May 2, 2024 by a vote of 74 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because ranked choice voting undermines the electorate’s ability to choose the best candidate in elections, threatens election integrity, and is designed to elect moderate-to-leftist politicians, which generally means they do not wholeheartedly adhere to the Constitution.

2nd Amendment Attack  |  HB36

HB36 prohibits the possession of firearms that have parts intended to convert them into machine guns. Violations of this law will result in a Class C felony.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed HB36 on April 30, 2024 by a vote of 60 to 38. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the right to bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. 

Disassociate With WHO  |  HJR113

HJR113 urges an end to U.S. funding for the World Health Organization (WHO), citing corruption, mismanagement, and alignment with authoritarian regimes. The resolution opposes new WHO regulations and treaties that threaten U.S. sovereignty and calls on Alabama’s congressional delegation to reject further support for the organization, emphasizing the need to protect American interests and freedoms.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed HJR113 on April 11, 2024 by a vote of 64 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the World Health Organization holds no constitutional authority over the American people, and states have the sovereign right to nullify unconstitutional federal acts. Furthermore, the WHO advocates for a one-world government, which undermines national sovereignty and American self-governance.

Carbon Storage  |  HB327

HB327 sets regulations for storing carbon dioxide underground in Alabama. It defines “pore space” as underground areas for storage and gives surface property owners rights to the pore space beneath their land, unless sold separately. The bill gives the State Oil and Gas Board authority to oversee storage facility operations and establishes funds to monitor active and closed sites. It also allows the Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources to lease pore space for carbon storage.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed HB327 on April 9, 2024 by a vote of 95 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this expands government by pushing for interventions infringing on individual freedom and economic liberty. Tax dollars should not go toward complying with any aspect of Agenda 2030, as it is not constitutional. This legislation prioritizes international interests over national sovereignty and control. Government’s involvement in mandating compensation and regulating carbon sequestration and storage infringes on private property rights protected under the Constitution.

DEI Ban  |  SB129

SB129 prohibits public entities in Alabama from maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices or sponsoring DEI programs. It also restricts the promotion of divisive concepts, such as ideas that imply racial superiority or collective guilt based on race or gender. Public institutions of higher education are required to designate restrooms based on biological sex.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB129 on March 7, 2024 by a vote of 75 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the goal of DEI is to pit Americans against each other. Reverse racism is still racism. Instead of pushing for equality, which is what the Constitution stands for, DEI programs in school push for equity, which is rooted in communism and is part of the Marxist agenda.

Education Savings Accounts  |  HB129

HB129 creates a refundable tax credit for parents to cover educational expenses through Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), prioritizing low-income and disabled students, with credits capped at $7,000 for participating schools and $2,000 for others.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed HB129 on February 27, 2024 by a vote of 69 to 34. We have assigned pluses to the nays because all government money comes with strings attached. ESAs might sound good in theory, but they expand government involvement into all aspects of education — including homeschools and religious schools — and can potentially affect rules and curriculum. Additionally, this legislation grossly prioritizes certain people over others. We encourage all parents to get their children out of the government school system and instead pursue sound alternatives such as homeschooling and patriotic private schools, such as FreedomProject Academy, where government funds are not involved.

Carbon Storage  |  HB327

It defines “pore space” as underground areas for storage and gives surface property owners rights to the pore space beneath their land, unless sold separately. The bill gives the State Oil and Gas Board authority to oversee storage facility operations and establishes funds to monitor active and closed sites. It also allows the Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources to lease pore space for carbon storage.

The Alabama State Senate passed HB327 on May 2, 2024 by a vote of 30 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this expands government by pushing for interventions infringing on individual freedoms and economic liberties. Tax dollars should not go toward complying with any aspect of Agenda 2030, as it is not constitutional. This legislation prioritizes international interests over national sovereignty and control. Government’s involvement in mandating compensation and regulating carbon sequestration and storage infringes on private property rights protected under the Constitution.

Real Money  |  SB297

SB297 amends state tax law to exempt net capital gains from the exchange of precious metal bullion from state income taxes.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB297 on April 30, 2024 by a vote of 34 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill strengthens monetary values in Alabama and is a strong step toward restoring constitutional money and the gold standard.

Firearm Merchant Code  |  SB281

SB281 bans government firearm registries and prohibits financial institutions from using special codes to track or reject firearm-related transactions.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB281 on April 23, 2024 by a vote of 32 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the workaround by credit card companies to track ammunition and firearm purchases violates several constitutionally-protected rights, including the First, Second, and Fourth Amendments. This is a large invasion of privacy, opens the door for illegal searches, and potentially deters people from making firearm purchases.

Education Savings Accounts  |  HB129

HB129 creates a refundable tax credit for parents to cover educational expenses through Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), prioritizing low-income and disabled students, with credits capped at $7,000 for participating schools and $2,000 for others.

The Alabama State Senate passed HB129 on March 7, 2024 by a vote of 23 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the nays because all government money comes with strings attached. ESAs might sound good in theory, but they expand government involvement into all aspects of education — including homeschools and religious schools — and can potentially affect rules and curriculum. Additionally, this legislation grossly prioritizes certain people over others. We encourage all parents to get their children out of the government school system and instead pursue sound alternatives such as homeschooling and patriotic private schools, such as FreedomProject Academy, where government funds are not involved.

DEI Ban  |  SB129

SB129 prohibits public entities in Alabama from maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices or sponsoring DEI programs. It also restricts the promotion of divisive concepts, such as ideas that imply racial superiority or collective guilt based on race or gender. Public institutions of higher education are required to designate restrooms based on biological sex.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB129 on February 22, 2024 by a vote of 26 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the goal of DEI is to pit Americans against each other. Reverse racism is still racism. Instead of pushing for equality, which is what the Constitution stands for, DEI programs in school push for equity, which is rooted in communism and is part of the Marxist agenda.

Election Integrity  |  SB1

SB1 eliminates handwritten requests for absentee ballots and requiring the use of a standard form. It prohibits anyone from pre-filling applications for others and bans payments or gifts in exchange for handling absentee ballot applications. Violations carry criminal penalties, including felony charges.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB1 on February 13, 2024 by a vote of 26 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our election laws is crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity.

Ban on Central Bank Digital Currency  |  SB330

SB330 bans state government agencies from accepting a payment using a Central Bank Digital Currency, and from participating in any test of this type of currency by the Federal Reserve.

The House passed SB330 on June 6, 2023, by a vote of 103 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would be an unconstitutional and intolerable expansion of tyranny under the Federal Reserve—presenting a significant danger to Americans’ civil liberties. According to Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution, “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” States can and must act now to avow their adherence to constitutionally sound money.

State Income Tax Rebate  |  HB175

HB175 offers a “one-time refundable income tax credit to qualified taxpayers to partially offset the amount of sales taxes paid on groceries throughout the tax year.”

The Senate passed HB175 on June 1, 2023, by a vote of 25 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the income tax is an immoral, anti-constitutional act of government-imposed theft that takes from citizens the wages they have rightfully earned. It disparages the principles of both the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment, which were intended to safeguard “private property” and guarantee “equal protection of the laws” for all Americans.

Firearm Prohibited Person Database  |  SB158

SB158 provides that the Alabama Firearm Prohibited Person database include “mentally ill persons” involuntary committed for “outpatient treatment.”  

The Senate passed SB158 on June 1, 2023, by a vote of 29 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this is a ‘red flag’ law that will further enlarge the unconstitutional state firearms prohibited person database, which had already included “mentally ill persons” involuntary committed for “inpatient treatment.” ‘Red flag’ laws are the latest gun control effort to permanently confiscate firearms from American citizens who have not even been charged with a crime—let alone found guilty. In conjunction with “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,” the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment guarantee that no person shall be deprived of their liberty or property without due process.

Prohibiting ESG-Based Public Contracts  |  SB261

SB261 prohibits governmental entities from entering into certain contracts with companies that “boycott businesses because the business engages in certain sectors or does not meet certain environmental or corporate governance standards does not facilitate certain activities.”

The House passed SB261 on May 31, 2023, by a vote of 74 to 27. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the government does not have the constitutional authority to use public funds to compel private businesses to engage in ‘woke’ environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) investment scheme initiatives. As a part of a ‘social credit’ rating system that seeks to further the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, ESG denies the property rights of American citizens, preventing both companies and individuals from entering into contracts voluntarily according to their own social, political, or ideological interests. The Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment were intended to protect against undue deprivations or disparagements of a person’s “property.”

Parental Rights  |  HB6

HB6 recognizes that the government may not burden certain fundamental rights of parents.

The House passed HB6 on May 31, 2023, by a vote of 87 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the upbringing, care, and control of children belongs to—and is a fundamental right of—parents, not the government. Parental rights, as with all other fundamental rights, are protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Ban on Central Bank Digital Currency  |  SB330

SB330 bans state government agencies from accepting a payment using a Central Bank Digital Currency, and from participating in any test of this type of currency by the Federal Reserve.

The Senate passed SB330 on May 24, 2023, by a vote of 32 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would be an unconstitutional and intolerable expansion of tyranny under the Federal Reserve—presenting a significant danger to Americans’ civil liberties. According to Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution, “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” States can and must act now to avow their adherence to constitutionally sound money.

Expanding Refundable Tax-Credit “Scholarships”  |  SB263

SB263 amends the Alabama Accountability Act to expand refundable tax-credit “scholarships” by raising the poverty threshold for lower-income parents and replacing the term “failing school” with “priority school.”   

The Senate passed SB263 on May 24, 2023, by a vote of 26 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not the role of government. A child’s education is the responsibility of—and a fundamental right of choice retained byhis or her parents. Moreover, refundable tax credits mean that “eligible” families in Alabama with little or no tax liability are given government funds to pay for their child’s education. Educational freedom cannot be achieved by forcing other citizens to furnish their hard-earned taxpayer dollars for a compulsory, failing, and government-run K-12 school system. 

Prohibiting ESG-Based Public Contracts  |  SB261

SB261 prohibits governmental entities from entering into certain contracts with companies that “boycott businesses because the business engages in certain sectors or does not meet certain environmental or corporate governance standards does not facilitate certain activities.”

The Senate passed SB261 on May 18, 2023, by a vote of 27 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the government does not have the constitutional authority to use public funds to compel private businesses to engage in ‘woke’ environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) investment scheme initiatives. As a part of a ‘social credit’ rating system that seeks to further the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, ESG denies the property rights of American citizens, preventing both companies and individuals from entering into contracts voluntarily according to their own social, political, or ideological interests.

Incorporation of Federal Firearms Laws  |  HB392

HB392 would provide that “a person prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law is prohibited from possessing a firearm under state law.”

The House passed HB392 on May 17, 2023, by a vote of 64 to 36. We have assigned pluses to the nays because federal gun control laws are blatantly unconstitutional. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees that the right of the American people “to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”  

Restricting Ballot Harvesting  |  HB209

HB209 would restrict a person from engaging or assisting in any way with the absentee ballot application or absentee ballot of another person, with certain exceptions.

The House passed HB209 on May 4, 2023, by a vote of 76 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the nays because ballot harvesting—as with mass voting by mail in general—enables electoral fraud, disenfranchising eligible voters. States should exercise their authority, under Article 1, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, to implement free, fair, and secure elections, providing equal protection of the right of American citizens to vote.

Protecting Student Athletes from Transgenderism  |  HB261

HB261 prevents male and female students from participating on athletic teams or sports designated for the opposite sex in public K-12 schools, colleges, and universities.

The Senate passed HB261 on May 3, 2023, by a vote of 26 to 4. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because not only does transgenderism absurdly attempt to erase biological “sex” with fictional “gender” constructs, but it also increases the risk of serious physical injury as well as emotional harm to female athletes by either permitting or forcing them to compete against males. According to the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the States have a duty to protect the humanity of all persons—male and female—who, as the Declaration of Independence affirms, are created by God and form the basis of individual and family self-government.

State-Mandated Kindergarten  |  HB43

HB43 would require a child to complete kindergarten or demonstrate first grade readiness before entering the first grade.

The House passed HB43 on April 18, 2023, by a vote of 87 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not the role of government. A child’s education is the responsibility of—and a fundamental right of choice retained by—his or her parents. Forcing the citizens of Alabama to furnish taxpayer money to expand a compulsory, failing, and government-run K-12 school system violates their individual liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. 

Election Integrity  |  HB194

HB194 prohibits the use of private donations to fund election costs and expenses (Zuckerbucks).

The Alabama State Senate passed HB194 on April 7, 2022 by a vote of 25 to 7.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our election laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. Tightening election laws preserve the integrity of the election process and keeping outside money out of elections will prevent outside influence of elections.

Second Amendment Preservation Act  |  SB2

SB2 forbids law enforcement and state actors from implementing or enforcing executive orders regarding firearms.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB2 on April 7, 2022 by a vote of 23 to 5. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution and should not be infringed in any situation. Furthermore, under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, states have a duty to nullify infringements by the federal government.

General Fund Budget  |  SB106

SB106 is the largest general fund budget in Alabama state history at $2.7 billion.  This budget included a raise of 4% for state employees, bonuses for retirees and increase spending on state agencies. This increase came because of the assistance of congressionally passed COVID-19 funds.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB106 on March 31, 2022 by a vote of 29 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this budget greatly expands the size and role of government. With a record in increase spending for government programs, leads to more people relying on the government in society. The spending of taxpayer money for purposes not authorized under Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the US. Constitution is unconstitutional.

Constitutional Carry  |  HB272

HB272 eliminates the requirement to obtain a permit in order to carry a concealed handgun.

The Alabama State Senate passed HB272 on March 10, 2022 by a vote of 24 to 6.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The Constitution does not state where you can or cannot possess a firearm.

Vaccine Mandates  |  SB15

SB15 requires that minors receive parental consent before getting a COVID vaccine while also preventing educational institutions from asking about a minor’s vaccination status.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB15 on November 4, 2021 by a vote of 25 to 1.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because forcing an individual to receive a vaccination or partake in any medical procedure would be a violation of their fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Second Amendment Protection Act  |  SB358

SB358 makes it a class C misdemeanor for state or local governments to enforce any federal gun law of presidential executive order that violates the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB358 on April 15, 2021 by a vote of 22 to 5. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed in any situation. Furthermore, under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, states have a duty to nullify infringements by the federal government.

Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act  |  SB184

SB184 prohibits the use of puberty blockers and gender-affirming surgeries for minors. This legislation makes it a felony for doctors to prescribe puberty blockers or hormonal treatments to minors.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB184 on April 7, 2022 by a vote of 66 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the left has been promoting radical Marxist ideas for years. This indoctrination is letting people believe that they can choose their pronouns and that they can be transgender. Scientifically and biblically, there are two genders. Minors are not old enough to consent and should not be able to choose to be something that they are scientifically not. 

Second Amendment Preservation Act  |  SB2

SB2 forbids law enforcement and state actors from implementing or enforcing executive orders regarding firearms.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB2 on April 7, 2022 by a vote of 68 to 28. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed in any situation. Furthermore, under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, states have a duty to nullify infringements by the federal government.

General Fund Budget  |  SB106

SB106 is the largest general fund budget in Alabama state history at $2.7 billion.  This budget included a raise of 4% for state employees, bonuses for retirees and increase spending on state agencies. This increase came because of the assistance of congressionally passed COVID-19 funds.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB106 on March 31, 2022 by a vote of 101 to 0.  We have assigned pluses to the nays because this budget greatly expands the size and role of government. With a record in increase spending for government programs, leads to more people relying on the government in society. The spending of taxpayer money for purposes not authorized under Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the US. Constitution is unconstitutional.

Constitutional Carry  |  HB272

HB272 eliminates the requirement to obtain a permit in order to carry a concealed handgun.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed HB272 on March 10, 2022 by a vote of 70 to 29. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The Constitution does not state where you can or cannot possess a firearm.

Election Integrity  |  HB194

HB194 prohibits the use of private donations to fund election costs and expenses (Zuckerbucks).

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed HB194 on March 10, 2022 by a vote of 72 to 28.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our election laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. Tightening election laws preserve the integrity of the election process and keeping outside money out of elections will prevent outside influence of elections.

Vaccine Exemptions  |  SB9

SB9 requires that employers and contractors to allow medical or religious exemptions from the COVID vaccine.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB9 on November 11, 2021 by a vote of 75 to 27.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because forcing an individual to receive a vaccination or partake in any medical procedure would be a violation of their fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
