Following recent precedent, the new Republican Senate is aiming to keep most of the power within the Senate.
From al.com:
Republican Lt. Gov.-elect Kay Ivey won’t have the power of many of her Democratic predecessors even though she will preside over the first Republican majority in the Alabama Senate in 136 years.
Key Republican senators, including President Pro Tem-designate Del Marsh, said Monday the new Republican majority plans to keep the system used in recent years where most of the Senate’s power rests with senators, not with the lieutenant governor.
