SR33 Alabama 2024 Session

Updated Feb 23, 2026

Summary

Primary Sponsor: J.T. WaggonerSenator
Republican
Session: Regular Session 2024
Title: SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR
Summary: SR33 sets a special order calendar to fast-track two gaming-related bills (HB151 and HB152) for the fifteenth legislative day, making them top priority over other business.
What This Bill Does
It immediately designates the listed business as the special and paramount order for the fifteenth day, taking precedence over regular or unfinished business. It identifies HB151 (a proposed constitutional amendment creating a state Gaming Commission to regulate, license, and tax limited gaming activities and stop unlawful activity, with a compact to PCI and repeal of local bingo provisions) and HB152 (establishing the Alabama Gaming Commission, outlining its duties, and regulating casino-style games, sports wagering, and lottery, along with gambling offenses). The resolution itself does not enact those policies; it only changes the order of consideration for that day.

Who It Affects
Members of the Alabama Senate and legislative staff, who must follow the new priority schedule and allocate time to HB151 and HB152 on the fifteenth day.
Advocates and opponents of expanded gaming and other stakeholders (gaming operators, local communities, and residents) who may be affected by future regulatory changes if these bills advance.

Key Provisions
Provision 1: Immediately adopt a special order calendar making the introduction and consideration of HB151 and HB152 the top priority for the fifteenth legislative day, ahead of regular business.
Provision 2: HB151 is described as a proposed constitutional amendment to create the Alabama Gaming Commission to regulate, license, tax limited forms of gaming, stop unlawful activity, authorize a compact with PCI, and repeal local bingo provisions; HB152 would establish the Alabama Gaming Commission, define its duties, regulate casino-style games, sports wagering, and lottery, and include provisions on gambling offenses.
