Enter a search term in the search box. Bills evolve into different versions as they are amended throughout the legislative process. 'Current Bill Version' is selected by default and will only return search results for the latest version of bills in the selected session. Choose 'All Bill Versions' to search for the term in all versions of all bills in the selected session. Choose 'Include Amendments' to also search all amendment text.
The 'All Bill Versions' and 'Include Amendments' options only apply to search terms. Blazing sevens hot shot progressive. Casino website design.
Search Features
- Stemming - Your search result may contain suffixes of the word used. This is called stemming. For example: If you search for the word bicycle, your search will return a broad result on bicycle, bicycles, and bicycling.
- Wildcards - If stemming does not return a broad enough result, use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard at the end or beginning of a word, or for a portion of a word. For example: If you type govern* in the Search box, the search will return a broad result on Govern, governs, governed, governing, government, governmental, governor.
- Multiple-word Searches - Two or more words separated by a comma. Will find returns that contain each word.
- Phrase Searches - Similar to multiple-word searches, except words are not separated by a comma. When federal census is entered into the search box, returns contain both federal and census.
- Quotation Marks - Put quotation marks around multiple words for results with the words together. When 'federal census' is entered into the search box, returns contain federal census together.
- Boolean Operators - Specify words, exclude words, or add complex combinations of words to be queried by using Boolean Operators. Boolean Operators should be represented by words (and, or, not) and not symbols (&, |, ^).
- AND logic retrieves records in which all terms are present. A search for dog and cat will return records with both dog and cat. The more terms you combine in a search with AND logic, the fewer results you will retrieve. A search for dog and cat and fish will result in fewer returns than just dog and cat.
- OR logic retrieves all the unique records containing one term, the other term, or both of them. OR logic is most commonly used to search for synonymous terms or concepts, such as 'college or university'. A search for dog or cat will result in records that have at least one of the terms.
- NOT logic excludes records from your search results. A search for dog not cat will result in records that mention dog but do not mention cat. Be careful when using NOT. The term you want may be present in records that also contain the word you wish to avoid.
The vast majority of bills cite the Florida Statutes, however they can also cite the Florida Constitution or Laws of Florida.
Florida Statutes
Use the Citation search field to determine which bills (latest version) cite sections of the Florida Statutes. Citations are formatted as “chapter.section”. If you add a number without a “.”, such as “120”, the search engine will automatically add a “.” at the end, so the search will return results for all bills that cite sections in Chapter 120—including bills creating new sections in Chapter 120.
To search for specific section citations, you must include the chapter number, such as “120.555”. Bills cite the current version of the Florida Statutes at the time the bill is filed. For example, the 2013 Statues were published to reflect the changes that were made during the 2013 Legislative Session. Statute citations for bills in the 2014 Legislative Session cite the 2013 Florida Statutes.

Florida Constitution
Use the Citation search field to determine which bills (latest version) cite sections of the Florida Constitution. Citations are formatted as “article, section”. The field will accept roman or arabic numerals, separated by a comma or period. If you add a number without a comma or period, such as “10”, the search engine will automatically add a “.” at the end, so the search will return results for all bills that cite sections in Article 10—including bills creating new sections in Article 10.

On Monday, February 24th the Florida Senate Gaming Committee released their anticipated gaming reform bill.
After hiring a consulting firm to review Florida’s gaming industry last year and taking feedback from the public, the Senate Gaming Committee put together a bill that attempts to reform and update Florida’s gaming industry.
The reform bill
At over 450 pages, Senate Proposed Bill 7052 aims at making comprehensive changes to Florida’s gaming landscape.
Some of the potential changes included in the bill are:
- The creation of a gaming control board;
- Increased authority, control, and enforcement over gaming by the regulatory agency;
- Authorizing the governor to renegotiate the gaming compact with the Seminoles;
- Consolidating all forms of gaming other than the lottery into a single statutory chapter;
- Authorizing the possibility of 2 destination casinos in Miami-Dade and Broward County; and
- Reduced requirements for operating a poker room.
Online poker is not included in the bill
The Senate Gaming Committee did not specifically include anything about online poker in the bill. There were, however, several changes to criminal laws related to online wagering.
Language was added to existing criminal gambling sections to expressly prohibit the operation of an online wagering business and to prohibit the electronic transmission of information for gambling purposes.
This language was likely included to prohibit other forms of online wagering, like Advance Deposit Wagering, but could also be applied to online poker.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance?
Although SPB 7052 ignores online poker it may not be the last chance at gaming reform this year. There are a few ways that online poker may still happen.
Michigan Gaming Bills
The bill is still in a very early stage and is, as the name implies, a proposed bill. The Gaming Committee will meet again to discuss the bill and likely amend it before formally presenting the bill to committee or to the rest of the legislature.
It also may be possible that a separate online poker bill is introduced.
There have been several online poker bills introduced in the last few years and it’s possible another online poker bill gets introduced this year.
Several of the senators on the Gaming Committee discussed online poker during the public hearings and were responsible for past attempts at legalized online poker.
Huge bills, like SPB 7052, are very difficult to pass because of their broad scope. It may be more likely that a smaller, more specific bill, like an online poker bill, would have a better chance at passage.
With the legislative session beginning next week and going until May there is still a lot of time for things to happen.
Regulated online poker, although unlikely, may still be up for legalization this year.
