As Alabama’s 2023 legislative session begins representatives from the Birmingham area have prefiled bills covering topics ranging from prohibiting street racing in Jefferson County to continued education for those with intellectual disabilities, to banning certain voting machines.

Out of all the legislators the Lede reached out to, only three – Reps. Susan DuBose and Russell Bedsole and Sen. Merika Coleman – responded to requests for comment.
