Every Alabamian deserves to know that the men and women entrusted with enforcing our laws are fully qualified and properly certified. Not only are we building public trust in the men and women who serve, but we are also working to better protect them and enable them to do their jobs more effectively through legislation like our Back the Blue bill, House Bill 202, working its way through the process. I look forward to all our public safety bills reaching my desk, so we can create a safer Alabama,\u201d Governor Kay Ivey said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">SB115 is part of the governor\u2019s Safe Alabama public safety package. Last week, she signed SB116 into law to impose a state ban on illegal machine gun conversion devices in Alabama. Governor Ivey began the legislative session by stating bolstering public safety is her number one priority, and Ivey says she looks forward to the other bills working their way through the legislative process and reaching her desk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Kay Ivey on Friday signed\u00a0Senate Bill 115, the Officer Impersonation Prevention Act, sponsored by Sen.
