Destination Resort Casino Bill Dead (for Now)

HB 487 did not make it out of the House Business and Consumer Affairs Subcommittee.
On Friday, Feb. 3, the subcommittee chaired by Rep. Holder, temporarily postponed the Destination Resort Casino bill at the request of the sponsor. Because this committee does not meet again during the 2012 legislative session, the bill is effectively dead.

This is a major victory for The Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association who has been fighting the bill since its inception. Carol Dover, President and CEO of the FRLA, testified at the hearing. A special thank you to Brian Quinn and Jim Harris for traveling across the state to testify on hospitality’s interest.
