The Alabama Legislature has approved plans to renew and expand economic incentives for businesses in Alabama.
House Bill 192 (HB 192) was delivered to Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey Thursday after unanimously passing the Senate Wednesday and the House last week. Sponsored by Rep. Bill Poole of Tuscaloosa and Sen. Greg Reed of Jasper, the bill renews and improves job creation incentives found in the Alabama Jobs Act and Growing Alabama Act.
