Under a bill passed by a legislative committee, Connecticut’s two tribal casinos could face the loss of their state liquor permits if they don’t enter agreements with the governor to reduce secondhand smoke.
The measure passed the General Assembly’s Public Health Committee on a 28-2 vote and now moves to the House of Representatives for further action. But it could face opposition from lawmakers concerned about hurting the casino business and losing some of the state’s share of slot machine revenues.
