Legislation dictating how to spend Alabama’s oil spill settlement money, and provide a funding fix for Medicaid, is dead for the legislative session after senators could not agree Tuesday on how to use the $1 billion windfall.

Lawmakers could not agree how much of the money should go to state debts versus road projects in coastal counties.

A Senate budget committee was scheduled to vote Tuesday on legislation to use $191 million for coastal road projects and $450 million for state debt repayment.

However, Sen. Arthur Orr said the money was intended to compensate the entire state. Orr proposed to pay back all state debts, and use the remaining $100 million for road projects across the state.

Chairman Trip Pittman ended the meeting as members appeared ready to support Orr.
