Sponsored Legislation

Every bill and resolution Rep. Rafferty has sponsored in the Alabama House since taking office — organized by session, with direct links to the legislative record.

In Montgomery, Neil's work centers on the issues that shape daily life for Alabama's working families: healthcare access, economic opportunity, workplace protections, and a fair tax system.

As Platform Chair for the Alabama House Democratic Caucus, Neil helps shape the Caucus's Vision for Progress — a policy framework focused on growing the economy, prioritizing healthcare, investing in public education, protecting elections, and ensuring safety and justice for all. The 2026 Caucus Agenda details the specific priorities driving this work.

His own legislative record reflects those priorities. From the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to community land trusts for affordable housing, from removing the "pink tax" on essential products to ending nitrogen hypoxia executions, Neil files bills that meet Alabamians where they are — and works across the aisle to pass them.
