The Alabama Legislature began its annual session at noon today with COVID-19 precautions and limited public access to the State House.
Lawmakers do not have the option of postponing the start to a safer time because the date is set in the state Constitution. Their plan is to meet this week and next week, then take the third week off to see if senators, representatives, and legislative employees are getting sick. They could resume business the third week or later. The legislative session can last up to 15 weeks and must end by mid-May.
