MONTGOMERY-Governor Kay Ivey on Wednesday signed Senate Bill 116, sponsored by Sen. Will Barfoot and Rep. Phillip Ensler, to impose a state ban on illegal machine gun conversion devices in Alabama.
The governor made the following comment:
“While there is a federal ban on these gun conversion devices, we needed a way to empower our own law enforcement here in Alabama to get these illegal and extremely dangerous Glock switches off our streets. I am proud to support law enforcement and work to combat crime by putting my signature on SB116.” — Governor Kay Ivey
SB116 is part of the governor’s Safe Alabama public safety package. Governor Ivey began the legislative session by stating bolstering public safety is her number one priority, and she looks forward to the other bills working their way through the legislative process and reaching her desk.
