Bill Summary
Urging the Alabama Congressional Delegation to identify and provide federal funds for the State Logging Efficiency Grant Fund
AI Summary
This joint resolution urges Alabama's representatives in the U.S. Congress, referred to as the Alabama Congressional Delegation, to find and secure federal money to support the State Logging Efficiency Grant Fund. This fund, established by a 2023 Alabama law called the Rural Logging Efficiency Act, is intended to help maintain, repair, and build rural bridges that are crucial for the state's significant forestry industry, which generates billions of dollars annually and supports numerous jobs. The resolution emphasizes that these federal funds, whether through grants or direct allocations, would help improve the infrastructure needed to ensure the efficient and competitive transport of timber to manufacturers, thereby supporting the continued success of Alabama's forest products sector.
