The Oakland A’s moved one step closer to securing their move to Las Vegas on Wednesday after the state Assembly voted 25-15 to pass a bill sending up to $380 million in public money toward the construction of a new baseball stadium on the Strip.
The Senate moved late Wednesday to concur on the latest amendment, sending SB1 to Gov. Joe Lombardo’s desk a full week after he called the Legislature into a special session to consider the legislation. The Republican governor is expected to sign the bill into law.
His signature on SB1 would establish a path for the A’s to receive public funding for a proposed $1.5 billion, 30,000-seat ballpark in Las Vegas, if the team moves forward with relocation from Oakland.
