The Alabama House of Representatives on Tuesday killed any chance that a lottery proposal would appear on the ballot during the Nov. 8 general election.

The House voted 59-33 to allow a committee to hold a public hearing and consider the bill.

But a four-fifths vote, which would have required 74 votes of the 92 cast, was needed to suspend the House rules and allow the meeting.

Republicans made up the bulk of the opposition against the committee meeting, casting 31 of the 33 no votes.

The lottery bill had to win committee approval on Tuesday to have a chance to pass on today's deadline to get on the Nov. 8 ballot.

If the Legislature still approves the lottery proposal during the special session, it would go to voters in a special election sometime after the general election.

The House Economic Development and Tourism Committee is scheduled to hold the public hearing today at 4 p.m.

If the committee approves it, the House could then consider the lottery bill on Thursday.
