Gaming Agency Bill Die in Committee
The Assembly Ways and Means Committee killed SB 21 to place the gaming control agency under strict budget control. The Senate had approved the measure narrowly, facing opposition from gaming officials Gov Grant Sawyer and the Southern Nevada Hotel Resort Association. Current law allows authorities to spend up to 10 percent of industry revenue, with the budget typically governed separately.
