Message from Lobbyists: Vote in favor of SB12! Changing the Age of Majority from 19 to 18

Vote in favor of SB12!

  • This bill will change the age of majority from 19 years old to 18 years old. All persons under the age of 18 will be considered minors.
  • At the age of 18, a person is allowed to join the military, required to sign up for the draft, can serve as a juror and be convicted as an adult, and can move out and live independently.
    • It is logical for those who meet these requirements to be able to be considered at the age of majority.
  • At the age of 18, a person is not allowed to open a checking or savings account, open a brokerage account, or purchase or rent a place to live by himself.
  • Alabama is only one of two states with the age of majority not at eighteen.
  • No funding is required, as the age of majority would just be lowered, and all affected areas would be adjusted.
