There were four gambling bills up for debate, all of which were shot down.
“All four of them at this point are not moving forward at all,” Albritton said. “The decision was made not to make the attempt. All of those bills at this point are dead, dead, dead.”
This is a controversial topic that continues to be brought up each year but continues to be shut down. Senator Albritton says that’s common in the legislative process but there are a lot of moving parts to get it passed. “It is a complicated manner. It is difficult to understand and it has all kind of factions against it,” Albritton explained.“The issue is not going away. Gambling continues to grow in the state of Alabama and continues to increase in the state of Alabama, both in footprint and in scope,” Albritton said.Lawmakers plan to officially finish the session by mid April.
