Governor Kay Ivey during her state of the state address Tuesday evening unveiled the public safety package.
“Bolstering public safety is my number one priority this session, and I am proud to partner with Speaker Ledbetter and a bipartisan group of legislators in putting forward a package of bills that will back the blue and combat inner city gun violence,” said Governor Ivey during her address. “Working together, we will create a safer Alabama.”
