## Resource

Alabama’s House and Senate have just rejected a new sports betting bill, leaving the state without legalized wagering for now — and adding to a long history of stalled attempts. Supporters hoped it would bring in major tax revenue for public services, while opponents worried about problem gambling and moral concerns. With Alabama still one of the Southeast’s few states without sports betting, the debate isn’t over — lawmakers will likely return to the issue, but for now, the conversation remains on hold.
