A proposal to allow up to six state-regulated casinos in North Dakota suffers a setback after the resolution has been sent back to the House committee on Thursday.

The House Judiciary Committee had earlier given House Concurrent Resolution 3033, introduced by House Majority Leader Al Carlson, R-Fargo, a “do not pass” recommendation in a 13-2 vote on Wednesday.

But thanks to Assistant House Majority Leader Don Vigessa, R-Cooperstown, the resolution was given a lease of life after it was re-referred on the House floor Thursday, and was approved by a voice vote.

The Bismarck Tribune reported the committee is expected to take it up again Monday.
