During this meeting, the legislators have got for mission to develop a more suitable version of the bill, while considering the data presented in this report. The president of the committee, the Senator Richter made a small report of this debate. He revealed some very important points, beginning with the creation of a committee which will take charge of the regulation of all shapes of gambling in the State of Florida, except the lottery.
