What do I need to know about the politics behind the bill?

  • Filed by a Republican, Chair of the County and Municipal Government Committee
  • In 2016, Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange issued cease & desist letters for Daily Fantasy Sports
  • In 2017, the Alabama House passed a Daily Fantasy Sports Bill, the Senate did not

How did the 2018 Daily Fantasy Sports Bill SB 325 meet its demise?

It failed a vote to bring the bill up for debate.
