On March 8, 2022, Gov. Kay Ivey of Alabama signed Senate Bill 99, making Alabama the third state to join the Interstate Counseling Compact. The Compact will become active when 10 states have enacted the Compact.
In a press release, Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth said that this bill, along with several others, “will assist our mission of making Alabama the nation’s friendliest and most welcoming state for active service members, military veterans and their families.”
