TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Senate President Mike Haridopolos wants his chamber to continue considering a casino resort bill although a companion measure is stalled in the House.
The Merritt Island Republican said on Wednesday that he expects the bill (SB 712) to get a final committee hearing.
It's already won approval from one Senate committee, but a House panel postponed a vote on a similar bill, which effectively doomed it.
Haridopolos, though, said, "It's a 60-day session. We'll have to see what happens."
The session hit the halfway mark Wednesday and now has 30 days left.
The legislation would grant casino licenses to major developers who pledged to spend at least $2 billion on a resort.
