Labor and employment, Alabama Uniform Minimum Wage and Right-to-Work Act repealed

HB 291 would repeal Alabama's existing "Alabama Uniform Minimum Wage and Right-to-Work Act" (specifically Sections 25-7-40 through 25-7-45 of the state code). This bill removes the legal framework that previously governed minimum wage standards, collective bargaining, and right-to-work rules for employers and employees in Alabama. If passed, it would eliminate these specific regulations, meaning Alabama would no longer have a state-level minimum wage or right-to-work law under this code section. The repeal would take effect on October 1, 2025, but does not establish new wage or labor policies.
