AL SJR36

Urges Alabama's Congressional delegation to identify and provide federal funds through grants or direct appropriations for the State's Logging Efficiency Grant Fund

Funds would support construction, replacement, or repair of rural bridges that serve the forestry industry's supply chain

References the Rural Logging Efficiency Act (Act 2023-524), which created the Logging Efficiency Grant Fund in the State Treasury for rural bridge infrastructure

Alabama's forestry industry generates over $36 billion in annual economic impact and $8 billion in annual labor income from 23.1 million acres of timberland

Resolution passed the Senate on February 10, 2026 and the House on February 17, 2026, with copies to be sent to all members of Alabama's Congressional delegation
