Casino Bill signed Thursday, 06 May 2010 The Casino Bill has been signed into law.
Speculation had been rife that the Bill had been left in limbo as it was not signed by Governor General Sir Patrick Allen due to his religious faith.
However Information Minister Daryl Vaz told journalists at Wednesday morning's post cabinet briefing at Jamaica House the bill has been signed.
He however noted that a typographical error was found after the document was signed and it is now being corrected at the Government Printing Office.
The signing of the Bill follows its passage in both houses of Parliament last month.
As a result, the way is now clear for the establishment of the Casino Commission and the crafting and implementation of appropriate regulations.
It is expected that a Commissioner and members of the Casino Gaming Commission will be done as soon as notice is given by Finance Minister Audley Shaw.
