Bill Summary
CONCERNING THE REFERRAL OF A BALLOT ISSUE RELATED TO THE REVENUE FROM THE SPORTS BETTING TAX, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, REFERRING A BALLOT ISSUE TO THE VOTERS TO ALLOW THE STATE TO KEEP AND SPEND ALL SPORTS BETTING TAX REVENUE IN EXCESS OF THE TWENTY-NINE MILLION DOLLAR ESTIMATED INCREASE IN STATE TAX REVENUE APPROVED BY VOTERS IN 2019 FOR THE PURPOSE OF FUNDING WATER CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION PROJECTS RATHER THAN REFUNDING SUCH EXCESS REVENUE TO CASINOS.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to allow the state of Colorado to keep and spend all sports betting tax revenue above the $29 million estimated increase in state tax revenue approved by voters in 2019. The excess revenue would be used to fund water conservation and protection projects rather than being refunded to casinos. The bill would refer a ballot issue to voters in the November 2024 election to approve this change. If the ballot issue is rejected, the excess sports betting tax revenue would be refunded to the taxpayers who paid the sports betting tax.
