Prospects for bills addressing gambling in Alabama in the 2025 legislative session remain unclear even after legislators have had ongoing discussions among themselves for the past several months in the offseason.
Lawmakers had protracted discussions about the provisions they would like to include as part of the gambling package, so much so that they have the different elements laid out, but finalizing a complete package, one that would get the required votes, remains an open question.
“The question is, which cut and paste would get a vote and which one loses a vote,” said Sen. Greg Albritton, R-Atmore, chair of the Senate’s General Fund budget committee who had been leading the efforts to introduce a gambling bill in the Senate.
