Hearings set for gambling bills: Casino legislation still alive; lotteries also proposed for Hawaii
In a year where an economic downturn brought on by the coronavirus pandemic has the government scrambling for revenue, a pair of gambling-related bills — usually a nonstarter in the state Legislature — are scheduled for hearings.
House Bill 359, which would grant a 40-year gaming license for a integrated resort and casino on a Department of Hawaiian Homes Lands parcel zoned for commercial use in Kapolei, Oahu, will be heard by the Economic Development Committee at 9:30 a.m. today at the state capitol in Honolulu.
