What changed
Alabama SB146 is a comprehensive state appropriations bill authorizing approximately $3 billion in State General Fund expenditures for FY 2027. The bill covers funding for all three branches of state government, debt service payments, and capital improvement projects. Senator Greg Albritton (R) sponsored the legislation, which underwent two substitute amendments in the Senate Finance and Taxation General Fund Committee and one House amendment (HGDAW83-1).
This is a routine annual appropriations measure that does not create new regulatory obligations for private parties. State agencies should budget according to the allocations in SB146. The bill took effect immediately upon passage and covers expenditures from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
