State Legislature Bills

This bill increases penalties for organized cargo theft, repeat freight theft, and port-related smuggling in Alabama, while letting ALEA coordinate a formal task force with police, port authorities, prosecutors, and regulators. It focuses on major shipping corridors and port facilities, with implementation limited by current constitutional protections and available funding.

The Community Policing Enhancement Act proposes increased state funding for community policing initiatives to improve public safety and build trust between law enforcement and communities in Alabama through training and engagement activities.
