THE FOLLOWING INFORMATIONAL BRIEFING HAS BEEN CANCELLED

 

The State of Hawaii has annually proposed legislation to legalize gambling, for the purposes of allowing its population to participate in gambling and to capture much-needed revenue to maintain essential government services.  In light of the adverse impacts associated with the current economic downturn—the State Legislature finds it prudent to study the idea of legalizing gambling within the state. 

 

The purpose of this briefing is to provide the State Legislature an opportunity to discuss with gambling experts the issue of legalized gambling in the State of Hawaii. 

 

 

FOR AMENDED NOTICES:  Measures that have been deleted are stricken through and measures that have been added are underscored.  If a measure is both underscored and stricken through, that measure has been deleted from the agenda.

 

If you require auxiliary aids or services to participate in the public hearing process (i.e. ASL or foreign language interpreter, or wheelchair accessibility), please contact the committee clerk at least 24 hours prior to the hearing so that arrangements can be made.

 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL THE COMMITTEE CLERK AT 587-7200.
