Bill > HB815

This bill amends existing laws to allocate a portion of pari-mutuel racing tax receipts to a new fund, the "pari-mutuel racing local government support fund," which will be administered by the Department for Local Government. The fund will be used to support local governments where live and historical horse racing facilities are located, to address the social costs of problem gambling, such as law enforcement, homelessness, and affordable housing. The Department of Revenue will provide information to the Department for Local Government to calculate the distribution of funds to the appropriate counties. The bill also allows the Department of Revenue to share information with the Department for Local Government for the purposes of administering the fund.
