Bill Summary

An act relating to property seized by the Florida Gaming Control Commission; amending s. 849.19, F.S.; providing that any seized machine and the cash therein shall be deposited into the Florida Gaming Control Commission Pari-Mutuel Wagering Trust Fund; amending s. 849.44, F.S.; providing that the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of seized property shall be deposited into the Florida Gaming Control Commission Pari-Mutuel Wagering Trust Fund; amending s. 932.7055, F.S.; providing an exemption for the proceeds accrued under the provisions of the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act; providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends several Florida statutes related to the handling of property seized by the Florida Gaming Control Commission. It provides that any machines, cash, or other property seized by the Commission must be deposited into the Commission's Pari-Mutuel Wagering Trust Fund, rather than being forfeited to the county or local government. The bill also exempts the proceeds from the Commission's enforcement actions under the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act from being deposited into the General Revenue Fund, instead requiring those funds to be used for the Commission's operations. The changes made by this bill aim to centralize the handling and use of funds and property seized by the Florida Gaming Control Commission.
