The COVID-19 outbreak hit the 2020 session of the Alabama Legislature like a meteorite. It forced the suspension of business for six weeks and all but wiped out an ambitious agenda.  Both the fallout and the outbreak remain as legislators prepare for the start of the 2021 session on Tuesday. Officials are restricting public access to the State House. Alabama House members will sit in the House chamber, the gallery and adjoining rooms and vote electronically. And after two weeks, the Legislature will take a week off to make sure the protocols are working. “The changes that we have had to make to meetings, committee rooms, the public access because of all of those, it will not be business as normal,” said House Speaker Mac McCutcheon, R-Monrovia.
