					<description><![CDATA[An appellate court was on the verge of rejecting an appeal of a lower court&#8217;s decision that entertainment devices known as “pre-reveal” games are in fact illegal slot machines. Dockets at the 1st District Court of Appeal show that Gator Coin II—the Jacksonville company that distributes the games—was ordered to show &#8220;why this appeal should not be dismissed&#8221; because its filings weren&#8217;t in order. An attorney for the company, Bryan E. DeMaggio, responded in a 21-page court filing—including exhibits—that lawyers &#8220;inadvertently neglected&#8221;&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As expected, a Tallahassee judge has entered a written order following his decision last month that he had gotten it “wrong the first time” and said games known as “pre-reveal” are in fact illegal slot machines. Circuit Judge John Cooper this week filed a &#8220;final declaratory judgment,&#8221; which allows Gator Coin II—the Jacksonville company that distributes the games—to now appeal to the 1st District Court of Appeal. In March, Cooper issued a previous judgment that “pre-reveal” games weren’t slots because players had to “press a ‘preview’ button before&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Cosmetic manufacturers are hopeful state lawmakers will take action this year to eliminate a policy requiring them to get approval before taking a product to market, a lengthy process that industry officials say goes above and beyond federal requirements. The industry has been pushing for the change for several years now, but think a recent report from the Florida Legislature’s Office of Program Policy Analysis &#38; Government Accountability bolsters their calls for change. According to the Feb. 21 research memo,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For the fourth year in a row, lawmakers will try to tear down the wall that separates tequila from tangelos. Senate President pro tem Anitere Flores has a bill (SB 106) to repeal the Prohibition-era state law requiring businesses, such as grocery chains and big-box retailers, to have separate stores to sell liquor. State Rep. Bryan Avila, a Hialeah Republican, filed a companion bill in the House. However, for the first time in four years, I&#8217;m not so sure about this legislation. In Sessions past, I was&#8230;]]></description>
