Act 2026-341: Lieutenant Governor vacancy and legislative expenses
Source: www2.alabamavotes.gov
What does this measure do?
Supports: Government Efficiency
Alabama would fill an empty lieutenant governor seat by election in some cases, let the Legislature set that office's pay, and require sign-off on lawmakers' travel spending. Your taxes would not change; this changes how state officials are chosen and paid.
Proposed by: Alabama Legislature (Senate Bill 271 of 2026, Sen. Sam Givhan)
Sen. Givhan is a Huntsville Republican. He says the state has no rule for filling an empty lieutenant governor seat, which could sit vacant for four years.
