HB53 Alabama 2019 Session
Bill Summary
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
Relating to Calhoun County; proposing a local constitutional amendment to Amendment 508 to the Constitution of Alabama 1901, now appearing as Section 1 of the Calhoun County Local Amendments of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, authorizing the operation of bingo games for prizes or money in the county, to prohibit any bingo permittee or licensee from operating bingo near any residential area within unincorporated areas of the county.
