Current law places restrictions on operating bingo games within Calhoun County if the games are within 1,000 yards of any residence or residential area.
This bill would propose an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama 1901, to exclude bingo games within municipalities from that restriction, thereby allowing the governments of those municipalities to factor proximity to residences or residential areas into their decisions to allow or deny a bingo license on a case-by-case basis.
Bingo games within Calhoun County, but outside of any municipality or incorporated community, would still be prohibited if operated within 1,000 yards of any residence or residential area.
