Alabama Governor Kay Ivey delivers State of the State address WATCH LIVE

Ivey invited Terry Saban to join her as her guest at the 2023 address at the state Capitol. She also invited students from University Charter School in Livingston to be in attendance.

In terms of allocating the second round of American Rescue Plan Act funds from Congress, she said “we must invest these one-time funds wisely.” ARPA provided a total of $2.1 billion to Alabama during the pandemic. It’s not yet clear which entities and priorities the lawmakers will focus on, but there are talks about wastewater infrastructure, broadband and rural health care.

Ivey will sign an executive order to “cut red tape” on businesses. She said she is aiming to cut business regulations by 25% over the next two years. “No matter the zip code, a child should be able to get a strong start in their educational journey,” she said.
