Governor Ivey Accepts Resignation of State Treasurer John McMillan, Appoints Young Boozer



MONTGOMERY – On Friday, Governor Kay Ivey accepted the resignation of State Treasurer John McMillan upon his appointment to serve as the Executive Director for the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission. His resignation is effective September 30, 2021.

08/13/2021

Effective Immediately: Governor Ivey is issuing a limited, narrowly-focused state of emergency based on the surge in covid-19 cases we are experiencing in an effort to support Alabama’s frontline heroes and cut red tape. As more and more Alabamians choose to get vaccinated each day, this will allow our health care community greater flexibility to offer care for patients coming through their doors.

Governor Ivey also issued the following statement:

“I am really proud that over the last month, Alabama has seen more than a 100% increase – the highest in the country – in covid-19 vaccines being administered. We owe those who have gotten the vaccine a tremendous debt of gratitude. No doubt, this will soon move us in the right direction, but at the current time, we also need to offer our frontline heroes – who are unfortunately treating a new wave of patients in Alabama’s hospitals – a helping hand as they put it all on the line to take care of our people.



“That is exactly what we are doing in issuing this limited, narrowly-focused state of emergency. I want to be abundantly clear: there will be absolutely no statewide mandates, closures or the like. This state of emergency is strategically targeted at removing bureaucracy and cutting red tape wherever we can to allow our doctors, nurses and hospital staff to treat patients that come through their doors.



“Let me be crystal clear: Alabama remains open for business. Alabamians do not need government telling us what to do or how to do it. Unlike last year when we were hoping for a miracle, our greatest weapon against covid-19 today is the vaccine, so, if you can, roll up your sleeve and get the shot.” – Governor Kay Ivey

For your background:



This emergency proclamation is aimed at easing burdens on health care providers and making government more responsive.

Easing burdens on healthcare providers: The proclamation will relax regulatory burdens to allow expanded capacity in healthcare facilities, additional liability protections, increased authority for frontline health care personnel and easier shipment of emergency equipment and supplies.
Making government more responsive: The proclamation will enable government, at all levels, to adapt to the COVID-19 surge. For example, one provision will allow expedited purchases of emergency-related equipment, while another will allow governmental bodies to meet remotely, subject to transparency rules.



The limited, narrowly-focused state of emergency is effective immediately and is NOT accompanied by a public health order. The proclamation is attached.
