MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama Senate this week approved, and then killed, a bill that would give public school teachers eight weeks of paid parental leave.
Senators on Thursday voted 26-2 for the measure but then refused to grant the unanimous consent required to send the bill for a possible vote in the House of Representatives during the session’s final days.
State Sen. Vivian Davis Figures, the sponsor of the bill, called it an example of the mostly male Legislature ignoring the concerns of women in the state.
“Maybe I’m going to have start raising hell” at the Senate floor, she said. “The females are a minority in elected office all over, but we are not a minority as voters.”
Alabama legislative rules require unanimous agreement after the 26th legislative day to send Senate bills to the House of Representatives for a vote. The Senate took the measure up on the 27th legislative day.
