Specifically, the bill outlines that those with permits for greyhound dog racing and authorization for casino activities can transfer their operation of 'all pari-mutuel wagering and gaming activities' to a location within a 30-mile radius.
Opponents are questioning whether the bill is intended to introduce new casinos to Miami-Dade County, as it allows gaming permit holders to relocate their permits. The bill is being viewed as controversial at the local level for a number of reasons. In a bid to push for a gambling expansion ahead of the 2024 legislative session, Florida State Senator Blaise Ingoglia filed a bill in the state senate on Thursday, allowing for the relocation of gambling permits.
