SJR 113 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Seriousness of the national debt and its threat to national security, recognized

This bill is a non-binding resolution from the Alabama Legislature that formally acknowledges the U.S. national debt as a threat to national security. It cites specific statistics, such as the debt-to-GDP ratio and projections for Social Security and Medicare fund depletion, to support this recognition. The resolution urges the United States Congress to adopt an effective regular order for budgeting but does not create any new laws or change Alabama state policy. Its primary effect is to send a copy of this statement to Alabama's members of Congress as a message of concern.
