Alabama Lottery established; Alabama Lottery Corporation established to administer lottery; Tribal-State compact authorized; constitutional amendment

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Alabama to establish a state lottery, repealing the current ban on lotteries in the state constitution. It would create a public corporation to operate the lottery, permitting draw-based and instant games using paper or plastic tickets (prohibiting video terminals), with revenue deposited into a dedicated trust fund and separately appropriated by the legislature annually. The bill also requires the Governor to negotiate a gaming compact with the Poarch Band of Creek Indians for activities on tribal trust lands under federal law. This amendment must be approved by voters before taking effect.
