Ala. Code § 41-1-22: Penalties Waived for Good Faith Attempt.

To allow for possible late payments due to unexpected problems arising at financial institutions, federal reserve facilities, the automated clearing house system, or state agencies where it is proven that a good faith attempt was made and due diligence was exercised to initiate payment correctly and on a timely basis, the administering state agency is specifically authorized to waive all penalties, interest, or disallowed discount on late payments for a period not to exceed two business days following the due date of the payment.
