Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Gaming revenue shared with cities and counties
Subject to legislative appropriations, the attorney general allocates 5% of all deposits in the charitable gaming operating fund to cities and counties. Money is split by where gaming taxes were collected from licensed organizations in each place. Payments come every quarter. If a city or county’s share is under $200 for the quarter, it gets no payment that quarter and that amount is split among the others.
Quarterly funding for gambling addiction help
The attorney general sends $75,000 each quarter to the gambling disorder prevention and treatment fund. This money comes from the charitable gaming operating fund after administrative and operating costs are covered by legislative appropriations. Payments repeat every quarter to support prevention and treatment services.
New gaming fund and excess transfers
The law creates a charitable gaming operating fund in the state treasury. It holds all gaming taxes, monetary fines, interest, and penalties from charitable gaming. By June 30 of each odd‑numbered year, the attorney general certifies the accumulated amount. Any net proceeds above what the legislature set for the next two‑year budget are transferred to the state general fund before the end of the biennium.
