Description
<p class="bill_description"> 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</p><p class="bill_description">
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</p><p class="bill_description">
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</p><p class="bill_entitled_an_act"> 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.
