SJR 36 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Urging the Alabama Congressional Delegation to identify and provide federal funds for the State Logging Efficiency Grant Fund

SJR 36 is a resolution urging Alabama's U.S. congressional representatives to seek federal funds - through grants or direct appropriations - to support Alabama's existing Logging Efficiency Grant Fund. The resolution requests that these federal funds be used specifically for repairing, replacing, or constructing rural bridges critical to the state's forestry supply chain. It references Alabama's 2023 Rural Logging Efficiency Act, which established the state fund to maintain infrastructure supporting the $36 billion annual forestry industry. The resolution does not create new law but formally asks Congress to identify and provide federal resources for this purpose.
