Waiting on alternative legislation, Senate committee delays gambling vote

A chaotic Senate committee meeting ended this week without a vote on the gambling legislation already approved in the Alabama House or expected substitute bills.

Substitute bills were being prepared Wednesday but weren’t discussed publicly.

The Senate Tourism and Economic Development Committee had posted earlier in the week its 1 p.m. meeting, but didn’t list the bills it would discuss, as is legislative protocol. It also didn’t mention a planned public hearing.
