Efforts to move the gaming license for one of Indiana’s underperforming casinos to New Haven have stalled this year, but a newly filed bill seeks to carry momentum into future legislative sessions.

Sen. Andy Zay, R-Huntington, authored the original bill allowing Full House Resorts to move from Rising Sun to Allen County. The Senate Public Policy Committee heard multiple hours of testimony on the measure last week, but Sen. Ron Alting, R-Lafayette, didn’t take a vote on the bill, essentially killing the proposal.

Now, Zay has filed a new bill that calls for the Indiana Gaming Commission to authorize a study that would outline the three best locations in the state for a new casino.
