Gov. Ivey bans lobbyists from State boards and commissions
Gov. Kay Ivey, continuing her shakeup in Alabama’s executive branch, on Thursday signed an executive order banning lobbyists from serving on appointed State boards and commissions.
The executive order, her fourth so far, bans any executive officials from appointing a registered lobbyist to boards or commissions, effective immediately.
“Just minutes after taking the oath of office, I promised the people of Alabama that the Ivey administration would be open, transparent, and honest, and I am proud to be fulfilling that promise,” Ivey said.
The executive order comes a day after Ivey made two more major changes in the Governor’s Office, appointing Jim Purcell as acting Secretary of Information Technology and Todd Cotton as acting director of Senior Services.
