The push to allow a casino in Fairfax County has officially entered new territory.
After tabling similar legislation proposed by state Sen. Dave Marsden (D-35) last year, the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee voted 9-6 this morning (Tuesday) to report Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell’s (D-34) bill to add the county to Virginia’s list of eligible casino hosts to the full chamber.
The Senate is expected to hear S.B. 982 and vote on its passage this Friday (Jan. 31), Surovell’s office says. The bill, which gives the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors the authority to call for a voter referendum on whether to allow a casino, will still need to pass the House of Delegates before going to Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s desk.
