State Sen. Greg Albritton, the Alabama Senate’s point man on lottery and gambling legislation for several years, has a new draft bill he may file as soon as this week.
But how many of his Senate colleagues want to follow him into another State House gambling battle in the last half of their legislative session is still to be determined.
“I’m looking for a few more votes,” Albritton, R-Range, told Alabama Daily News on Friday about the status of his legislation. He said he may file it to generate more conversations.
Albritton shared details of the proposal that would be put before voters in a September special election on legalizing lottery ticket sales, as well as Class II electronic gambling at six existing racetracks around the state.
