Casino Business (Regulation) Act gets COPF approval

Casino Business (Regulation) Act gets COPF approval

 

The Committee on Public Finance (COPF) has green-lighted the clauses under the Casino Business (Regulation) Act No.17 of 2010, its chairman MP Harsha de Silva told the parliament Thursday (Dec 08).


Accordingly, the COPF has given the approval to regulate casinos under strict conditions.


Addressing an earlier parliamentary session, the COPF chairman reiterated the need to expedite the establishment of a casino regulatory authority in order to grant licences for operating casinos in Sri Lanka.


The COPF previously refused to approve regulations under the Casino Business (Regulation) Act since the relevant bill is being brought forth for the first time to licence and regulate casinos.
