Virginia committee advances Fairfax casino bill with $150m licensing fee
Virginia’s House General Laws Committee voted 12–7 to advance Senate Bill 756 to the Appropriations Committee, according to the report. The amended proposal would allow Fairfax County to host a casino and raises the licensing fee to $150 million; further approval and local referendums would be required.
The proposed fee, voting conditions and referendum rules shape the cost and viability of a potential Fairfax casino project.
