Virginia lawmakers advance online casino bills after reconsideration votes
Virginia’s Senate and House each advanced an online casino bill after reconsidering initial votes, according to the report. The Senate bill sets a proposed 1 July 2027 start date and a 20% tax rate; the House version proposes a 15% rate and would need legislative approval next year. Both bills may require further agreement between the chambers.
The votes keep proposals for legal online casinos and different tax rates moving through Virginia’s legislature.
