Alabama Forest Products Retention and Pulp and Paper Mill Stability Study Commission, established

This bill creates a temporary study commission to examine strategies for keeping pulp and paper mills operating within Alabama. The commission will include legislators, state officials, and representatives from industry and economic development groups to review factors like infrastructure, environmental policies, and market trends. Its primary goal is to identify ways to encourage existing mills to stay and expand while attracting new paper-based technology manufacturing. The group is required to submit a final report with its findings and recommendations to the legislature by November 1, 2026, after which the commission will be dissolved.
