An Act To Establish a State-controlled Casino
 
CONCEPT DRAFT SUMMARY
This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208.
This bill proposes to authorize the State to contract with an outside entity to establish a casino in Maine. Under the bill, the State would have control over all aspects of the development of the casino including the location, negotiating the specific terms of the agreement with the operator and the distribution of profits. The license to operate would be subject to a formal bid process in order to ensure the greatest return to the State.
