AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine Gov. Paul LePage has decided to hold six bills passed by lawmakers this year, including one dealing with casino gambling, until the session that begins in January.

The deadline to act on all of the remaining bills enacted during the 2011 session was Monday. LePage set aside six of those sent to his desk because of questions he has about some of the details.

The held bills include one requiring the state Public Safety Department to establish rules to govern table games at the voter-approved Oxford casino, which is scheduled to open next year. The rules must ensure that bets on table games are not made with cash and that the exchange of cash for chips, tokens or other items of value is done in a manner that can provide a thorough audit.

The bill also says that fees collected from slot machine operators and casinos must be deposited in a special dedicated account instead of in the state general fund.

Two of the other bills would provide sales tax exemptions for groups that provide live entertainment, and credits for taxes paid on fuel.

A bill to fund a trade policy commission at a $12,000 cost was held, as were bills providing $100,000 to pay for delivery of materials shared by participating libraries, and to require public building renovations to consider energy-saving power systems.

The regular 2011 session ended in late June and lawmakers are due to return in January to complete the two-year session.
