I have signed House Bill 892 which gives all counties statewide the authority to regulate game rooms by removing all local bracket provisions in the relevant statute. House Bill 1476 attempts to amend the statute already repealed by House Bill 892. As such, House Bill 1476 is unnecessary.
Since you remain gathered in regular session and continue to conduct formal business, I am delivering this disapproval message directly to you along with the unsigned official enrolled copy of the bill.
