Mississippi's tie bill has raised concerns about the future of coastal casinos. The bill was approved unanimously by the Senate and has 30 days to go before the final vote.

Senate Bill 2780 passed the Senate on Thursday after receiving two amendments. The first one allows cities to control real estate as long as there is no "game element" at ports and ports. This means the state cannot restrict public use of coastal real estate when it comes to public purposes.

However, the amendment maintains provisions that give the secretary of state control over the coastline casinos. Under the new legislation, developers must secure leases from the state, not from local governments. In addition, the new casinos cannot be located on or adjacent to the sandy beaches and must still be located within 800 feet of the coast. Finally, casino developers must control all their property.

Overall, some believe that the bill will likely hinder the creation of new casinos. In addition, critics have claimed that coastal leaders have not been consulted about the Title Act and have taken away their opinions.

The bill highlighted inconsistencies between state and local governments.

The Mississippi government doesn't want to repeat the recent Biloxi hassle
David Blunt, chairman of the Senate Gaming Committee, presented the first amendment to Senate Bill 2780. He explained that the government is not interested in micromanaging local ports and instead wants to create a "consistent environment" for the casino industry.

His comments reiterated the approval of RW Development's casino in Biloxi, which was recently approved by the Mississippi Gaming Commission. The project was initiated by a collaboration between the developer and Biloxi and Harrison County to rebuild the Peters Avenue Pier. The secretary of state blocked the plan, a decision that was later disputed by the Supreme Court. As a result, RW Development was able to secure approval to add a casino to the pier afterward.  실시간 바카라사이트

Mike Thompson, chairman of the Senate Committee on Ports, Oceans and Fisheries, explained that the tie bill is working to ensure that government authorities do not rule out anything from having exclusive control over their ports and ports. He acknowledged that the bill has raised concerns among coastal leaders and added a reverse abolitionist amendment that ensures the bill has more time to be adjusted.

Meanwhile, the House version of the bill, HB 1659, passed the House by a landslide, with 113 MPs voting six against the bill.
