MONTGOMERY: The 2026 session of the Alabama Legislature passed a law that increases the penalties for those who run from law enforcement.
The law will also increase sentences against deliberate behavior like eluding with children in the vehicle, striking law enforcement officers in their vehicle, or striking an officer while the offender is on pretrial release.
The new law will take effect on Oct. 1.
