A bill allowing a lottery and casinos in Alabama was the most high-profile legislation that died during the annual session that ended Thursday, falling just one vote short of passing and going to the ballot for voters in an August special election.

But, many other bills that received support also failed to make it to the finish line before the session ended Thursday evening.

The Legislature is not scheduled to meet again until the 2025 session in February. Gov. Kay Ivey has said she will not call a special session for gambling legislation.

Here are some of the bills that failed to win final approval during the three-month long session.

– Ethics Law: HB227 by Rep. Matt Simpson, R-Daphne, to repeal and replace the Alabama ethics law, passed the House but died in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Simpson, who led public meetings for months to work on the legislation, said his aim was to clarify the law, as Alabama’s appellate courts and a study commission have said is needed. But Attorney General Steve Marshall and the Ethics Commission said the bill would have weakened the law.

– Librarians subject to arrest: HB385 by Rep. Arnold Mooney, R-Shelby County, would have made librarians criminally liable for distributing “sexual or gender oriented material” to minors without parental consent. Librarians who did not remove a book that someone found obscene or harmful to minors within seven days of written notice could have faced a misdemeanor under the bill. The House passed the bill on a party line vote, with Republicans supporting it and Democrats opposed. But it did not come up for a vote in the Senate.

– ‘Glock switch’ ban: HB36 by Rep. Phillip Ensler, D-Montgomery, would have made “Glock switches” and other devices that convert semiautomatic handguns to automatic fire illegal under state law. The bill passed the House with some opposition from Republicans who said it could open the door for more gun restrictions. It did not come up for a vote in the Senate despite support from law enforcement.

– Paid parental leave for teachers: SB305 by Sen. Vivian Davis Figures, D-Mobile, would have given teachers and other education employees paid parental leave. It passed the Senate with three days left in the session but Senate President Pro Tem Greg Reed, R-Jasper, declined to transmit it to the House under a rule that requires unanimous consent for Senate bills to go the House in the final few days of the session.

– Paid parental leave for state employees: HB309, by Rep. Ginny Shaver, R-Leesburg, would have provided paid parental leave for state employees. Shaver’s bill passed the House but did not come up for a vote in the Senate.

– ‘Don’t Say Gay’ expansion: HB130 by Rep. Mack Butler, R-Rainbow City, would have expanded a ban on teachers providing instruction or classroom discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools. The bill passed the House but did not come up for a vote in the Senate. The ban, which first passed in 2022, now applies from kindergarten through fifth grade. Butler’s bill would have extended it through 8th grade. It would also have prohibited teachers and other school employees from displaying a flag or insignia representing sexual orientation or gender identity in a classroom or on school property, such as a pride flag or rainbow flag.

– A chance for freedom for some serving life in prison: HB29, by Rep. Chris England, D-Tuscaloosa, would have allowed about 150 people serving life without parole in prison whose crimes did not cause a physical injury to receive consideration for new sentences. Those eligible would have to have served at least 24 years in prison. Advocates for the legislation said it was fair because those who would be eligible to apply for new sentences would not receive life without parole sentences if they were sentenced under current law. But the bill failed in the House.

– ‘What is a woman?’ bill: HB111 by Rep. Susan DuBose, R-Hoover, would have defined male and female based on biological sex and distinguished the definition from gender identity. The bill said inconsistencies in court rulings and policy initiatives on sex discrimination are a threat to women’s rights and resources and put private, single-sex spaces, like locker rooms and restrooms, in jeopardy. The bill passed the House but did not come up for a vote in the Senate.

– Ending sales tax on maternal health products: SB62 by Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, and HB236 by Rep. Neil Rafferty, D-Birmingham, would have removed the state sales tax from diapers, baby formula, baby bottles, baby wipes, breast pumps, maternity clothing, and menstrual hygiene products. Both bills passed one chamber but died in the other.

– Video conferencing for parole hearings: SB312 by Sen. Will Barfoot, R-Montgomery, would have allowed inmates to participate in parole hearings by videoconference, telephone conference, or similar means. Currently, inmates do not appear before the three-member parole board in Montgomery. Barfoot said it would be beneficial for inmates to have a chance to speak to the board directly and for the board to be able to ask inmates questions. The bill would also have allowed victims, victims’ families and advocates, prosecutors, and others to also attend by video or teleconference. It passed the Senate but did not come up for a vote in the House.

– More local enforcement of federal immigration law: HB376 by Rep. Ernie Yarbrough, R-Trinity, was intended to increase the involvement of local police and sheriffs in the enforcement of immigration laws through agreements with federal authorities. It passed a House committee but did not come up for a vote in the House. Opponents said it would lead to racial profiling. Yarbrough and supporters said the bill was needed because they said the federal government has abdicated its responsibility on controlling the southern border.

– Changes to Alabama archives board: SB77 by Sen. Chris Elliott, a Republican from Baldwin County, would have removed the members of the board of trustees of the Alabama Department of Archives and History and changed the way the board is appointed. Friction between Republican lawmakers and the agency surfaced last year, when Elliott and some others opposed Archives and History’s hosting of a lecture on the history of LGBTQ people in Alabama. Elliott said his main concern is that under current law, the board is self-perpetuating and said the change in appointing authority will bring more accountability to the agency. The bill passed the Senate but did not come up for a vote in the House.

– Religious exemption to vaccine requirements expansion: SB246 by Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, would have made it easier for parents to receive religious exemptions from vaccination requirements for their children in public schools. The bill passed the Senate but did not come up for a vote in the House.

– Cellphone porn blocking: HB167 by Rep. Chris Sells, R-Greenville, would have required makers of cellphones and tablets to equip the devices with a filter to block pornography that would be activated when the device is activated for use by a minor. It passed the House by a vote of 98-0 but did not come up for a vote in the Senate.
