Julia Lee, vice president of Taiwan development for Weidner Resorts, said debate is likely to take place in August, citing legislative sources close to the process.

Weidner Resorts, run by former Las Vegas Sands Corp president and chief operating officer William Weidner, is one of the companies eyeing to invest in casinos in Taiwan.

Last week, three ruling Kuomintang legislators submitted a rival bill.

It proposes the creation of foreign-passport permit based casinos in “special economic zones” located in central Taiwan.
