MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - The Alabama House Judiciary Committee has slowed down a controversial bill that would create new crimes and penalties for rioters.
The bill was moved to a subcommittee to work out concerns Democratic lawmakers expressed at the meeting Tuesday.
State Rep. Allen Treadaway, R-Morris, said he drafted the legislation after a riot in Birmingham last summer when people came from other cities to cause destruction.
âYouâve got other evidence of folks with sledgehammers breaking in businesses, looting them and setting them on fire,â Treadaway said. âThis is what this is about.â
The Alabama Memorial Preservation Act, passed in 2017, prohibits removal of a historical monument from taxpayer-owned property that has been in place 40 years or more.
