AL SB230

Campaign contributions may be used to pay for security expenses protecting candidates, elected officials, and their immediate family or staff members, including reimbursing state, county, or municipal governments for such costs

Authorized security expenses include cybersecurity costs such as data removal services, installation and monitoring of home security devices (locks, alarms, motion detectors, cameras), and security personnel

Security devices permanently attached to property are exempt from campaign fund liquidation requirements, provided they are intended for security rather than property improvement

Legislators who purchased office furnishings for the Alabama State House on South Union Street before January 1, 2026, may dispose of that property by donation or other means without accounting for its value, in preparation for the building's demolition

Effective immediately upon passage (enrolled February 26, 2026)
