Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

6 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 3 mixed.

Monthly fees on event wagering operators

Event wagering operators must pay a monthly fee up to 10% of adjusted gross receipts. Operators may use cash‑accrual or modified‑accrual accounting. Fees are due by the 25th of the month after receipts were received.

Monthly fees on fantasy sports operators

The department sets a monthly fee up to 10% of a fantasy operator’s adjusted revenues. Operators must report and pay by the 25th for the prior month. A late penalty adds 5% per month, capped at 25% of the amount due. Payments go to the event wagering fund.

New taxes and audits for fight promoters

Promoters must pay 4% of gross receipts, after city, state, and federal taxes, within 10 days after each contest. Complimentary tickets are tax‑exempt up to 2% of all tickets or 75 tickets, whichever is greater. The department may require a certified audit by a CPA and set rules for returns, records, and timing.

Gaming funds revamped, 90% flows to state

The event wagering fund holds gaming receipts, and by the 25th each month, 90% of the prior month’s deposits move to the state general fund. The old fantasy sports fund is repealed, and any leftover balance moves into the event wagering fund on the law’s effective date. The department keeps a dedicated unarmed‑combat subaccount and deposits related license fees there each month. The department’s annual regulation costs are capped at 10% of fund monies; up to $500,000 a year supports problem‑gambling programs. The department may award problem‑gambling grants using this money plus private or federal funds.

Tighter rules and fees for fighters

Combatant medical exam results expire 365 days after the exam; the commission may allow up to 15 extra days to align with licensing. Unarmed‑combat licenses last 365 days and require a fee to renew. A 30‑day grace period allows late renewal, but you cannot work until renewed and you owe a late penalty equal to the fee. Miss the 30 days, and you must apply for a new license. If the commission finds a sham or dishonest contest, it can withhold purse money, give notice, and hold a hearing within 10 days; money not owed is deposited into the unarmed‑combat subaccount.

New liquor licenses fund; excess reverts

The state creates a liquor licenses fund run by the liquor department. Money in the fund does not lapse. On December 31 each year, any amount over $700,000 goes to the state general fund. Spending from the fund needs a legislative appropriation.
