Supreme Court of Arkansas

Cherokee Nation Businesses, LLC; and Arkansas Racing Commission v. Gulfside Casino Partnership

October 21, 2021632 S.W.3d 284

Summary

The court held that Amendment 100 requires a casino applicant to obtain a letter of support from the county judge who is in office when the applicant submits its application. Because the agency rule and statute imposed no requirement beyond the Amendment, the court reversed the circuit court's declarations of unconstitutionality and dismissed the appeal. No separate opinions are included in the record provided.
