Gaming; state lottery and other gaming activities, authorized by general law; gaming commission, authorized to license and regulate gaming activities; Governor, authorized to negotiate Tribal-State gaming compact, constitutional amendment

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Alabama's Legislature to establish a state lottery, authorize in-person casino-style games, and permit both in-person and online sports wagering. It would create a state gaming commission to license and regulate all authorized gaming activities while prohibiting future local constitutional amendments related to gaming. The amendment also authorizes the Governor to negotiate a Tribal-State compact with the Poarch Band of Creek Indians for gaming operations on tribal lands, subject to federal law. If approved by voters, this change would require constitutional ratification before taking effect.
