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.
