• Major change to Alabama parole hearings dies after lawmakers don't act on Ivey's changes (al.com) — State Sen. Will Barfoot of Pike Road backed a bipartisan bill to let parole applicants, victims, and law enforcement join hearings virtually, but it died after Gov. Kay Ivey’s funding-related amendment stalled on the session’s final day. Two other parole reform bills passed, yet advocates say losing this measure slows criminal justice progress and keeps families driving long distances to Montgomery hearings.
