Bill to expand gambling hours to be heard today

PROVIDENCE -- The Senate Constitutional and Regulatory Issues Committee today is scheduled to hear a bill that would allow 24-hour gambling at Twin River and Newport Grand.

The state receives a slice of the revenue from the two gambling facilities.

The committee is slated to hear the bill, among other legislative proposals, at the rise of the Senate, according to the meeting agenda.

Sen. Paul Moura, an East Providence Democrat, is the bill's prime sponsor. The meeting will be in Room 211 at the State House.
