The Alabama House Republican caucus met for two hours behind closed doors Wednesday, a meeting that included discussion of a gambling bill that GOP lawmakers will introduce for the annual legislative session that is less than four weeks away.
Rep. Andy Whitt, R-Harvest, who has led a group of legislators studying gambling over the last 14 months, said the bill is still in the works and declined to release details.
Whitt said he expects it to be a comprehensive bill, which has been the term used previously for bills that include a lottery, casinos, a regulatory commission, and sports betting.
Whitt said his purpose is to crack down on illegal gambling happening across the state.
