Bill could bring more film production to Alabama

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley Thursday signed a bill that will allow Alabama to compete more effectively for film production in the state.

HB243, sponsored by Representative Terri Collins and carried by Senator Gerald Dial, increases incentives allowed for filming projects in the State of Alabama from $10 million per project to $20 million per project. The minimum that can be spent remains at $500,000 and the percentages received (25 percent for expenditures and 35 percent for hiring residents) also remain the same.

This new amendment also increases the amount that can be rebated per year to qualified productions.

Chapman announces appointments to Board of Registrars

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - Secretary of State Beth Chapman has announced appointments to Alabama's Board of Registrars.

Each of Alabama's 67 counties have a Board of Registrars that serves as the local entity for voter registration.  The Governor, State Auditor and the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries each appoint one registrar in each county, with the exception of Jefferson County.  By law in Jefferson County, the Board of Registrars is appointed by the County Commission.


“These appointments are among the most important,” said Chapman.  “In order to continue to provide honest elections across our state, we must have registrars of good character who are able to demonstrate fair judgment.  With the next presidential election just around the corner, it is important to have the new appointees ready and trained for their new responsibilities as soon as possible.  I have no doubt that they will be ready and that we will be served well b
