    2 CHAPTER 117 CASINO GAMING
    3
    4 23-117-101. Letter of support for casino applicant.
    5 (a) Pursuant to The Arkansas Casino Gaming Amendment of 2018, Arkansas
    6 Constitution, Amendment 100, the Arkansas Racing Commission shall require a
    7 casino applicant for a casino license in Pope County and Jefferson County to
    8 submit:
    9 (1) Either a letter of support from the county judge or a
    10 resolution from the county court in the county where the proposed casino is
    11 to be located; and
    12 (2) If the proposed casino is to be located within a city or
    13 town, a letter of support from the mayor in the city or town where the
    14 proposed casino is to be located.
    15 (b) A letter of support from the county judge or a resolution of
    16 support from the quorum court, and from the mayor, if appropriate, required
    17 under subsection (a) of this section shall be dated and signed by the county
    18 judge, quorum court, or mayor holding office at the time of the submission of
    19 an application for a casino license.
    20
    21 SECTION 3. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the
    22 General Assembly of the State of Arkansas that delay in clarifying
    23 requirements for a letter of support required for a casino applicant impedes
    24 the ability of a county official or mayor to determine the desire for and
    25 necessity of a casino operation in the city or county. Therefore, an
    26 emergency is declared to exist, and this act being immediately necessary for
    27 the preservation of the public peace, health, and safety shall become
    28 effective on:
    29 (1) The date of its approval by the Governor;
    30 (2) If the bill is neither approved nor vetoed by the Governor,
    31 the expiration of the period of time during which the Governor may veto the
    32 bill; or
    33 (3) If the bill is vetoed by the Governor and the veto is
    34 overridden, the date the last house overrides the veto.
