(ABC 6 News) — Inside the Iowa Capitol, a bill pausing new casinos in the state is moving forward.

Both the House and Senate subcommittees advanced the bill, which places a moratorium on new gaming licenses in Iowa until 2030.

It now heads to the full House and Senate for consideration. If approved, it needs Governor Reynolds’ signature to become a law.

The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission is set to decide on a gaming license for the proposed Cedar Crossing Casino in Cedar Rapids next week.
