Alabama residents are one step closer to being allowed to donate some of their state tax refunds toward the construction of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

A bill introduced by Rep. Del Marsh (R-Anniston) passed in the Alabama Senate by a vote of 23-7 on March 21, and has headed to the state’s House of Representatives.
