On Thursday, March 27, the House Regulatory Affairs Committee held a workshop on gaming in the state of Florida. The workshop looked at revenues to the state from current gaming facilities operating within Florida. In addition, the workshop looked at legislation relating to gaming that has been introduced this session, specifically, HB 1233, relating to Gaming, by House Majority Leader, Dana Young (R-Tampa).
The legislation, supported by AIF as a good first step, would create a much needed Gaming Control Commission here in the state of Florida. In addition, the legislation would allow for the licensing of two, high-end integrated resorts in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. AIF’s Senior Vice President, Brewster Bevis, spoke in committee supporting the policies outlined in HB 1233..
