A new attempt to cut down on roadside panhandling is happening on the state level.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - A new attempt to cut down on roadside panhandling is happening at the state level.
Under the current state law, loitering is a violation, but Ingram wants to take it a step further. He represents District 75 and has pre-filed a bill that would prohibit an individual from loitering on a public roadway or in the right of way of a public roadway. Ingram says panhandling has gotten out of hand, but what he’s proposing could help municipalities statewide.
Ingram points out this public safety bill focuses on keeping both the driver and the panhandler safe.
