The Alabama Senate on Wednesday voted 30-0 for the raise legislation.
Senators also voted 32-1 for the $6.3 billion education trust fund budget. The bills now move to the Alabama House of Representatives where lawmakers will decide whether to accept Senate changes or send the two bills to conference committee.
