Lottery bill being debated on the floor of the House now -- UPDATE: Passes 99-0
Speaker Robbie Wills is now presenting HB1002 on the floor of the House now.
Update: Wills accepted a question from Rep. Lea, and Rep. Davy Carter spoke for the bill. The bill passed by a vote of 99-0 (Rep. Greenberg was absent). The Senate passed an identical bill today. However, unlike other states, we're unable to send identical bills that have each passed one chamber to the governor. We'll take up the Senate bill in Rules tomorrow and vote on it on the floor on Monday.
