MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama Senate committee on Tuesday delayed action on a proposed revamp of the state ethics law after opposition from both the state attorney general and the head of the state ethics commission.
The Senate Judiciary will take up the bill again Wednesday morning. If approved, it would be in line for a possible Senate vote on the final day of the legislative session, which could be as soon as Thursday.
The attorney general’s office and the director of the Alabama Ethics Commission spoke against the bill during a Tuesday public hearing.
Katherine Robertson, chief counsel for the Alabama attorney general, argued that there is overlap in the bill between what is a criminal offense and what is a civil violation. She urged lawmakers to keep working on it.
“There is really no clear line,” Robertson said.
Matt Hart, a former state and federal prosecutor who spearheaded some of the state’s most notable public corruption prosecutions, said the proposal would weaken the state’s ethics law by allowing some actions that are currently prohibited.
