A special session to rewrite Florida’s gambling laws is now off the cards.

The Miami Herald reported that Florida lawmakers have decided to give the proposed special session on gambling a pass after weeks of behind-the-scenes talks.

The breakdown of negotiations came a week after Florida Gov. Rick Scott announced that the state had extended its casino revenue sharing agreement with the Seminoles through May 2019.

Sen. Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, and Rep. Jose Oliva, R-Miami, had been trying since Easter to convince their colleagues in the upper and lower chambers of Congress to resurrect a dead gambling bill in a special session. The two negotiators wanted the state gambling law sorted out and resolvedby Congress ahead of the November ballot. They fear that Florida residents will only complicate their role once the voters cast their ballots on the issue of expanding gambling options in the state.
