Bill > SB112

This bill authorizes the Missouri Video Lottery Control Act, which establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for video lottery game terminals in the state. The bill creates a licensing system for video lottery game manufacturers, distributors, operators, retailers, and handlers, allowing licensed establishments like bars, restaurants, truck stops, and fraternal organizations with liquor licenses to host up to five to ten video lottery game terminals. Players must be at least 21 years old, and terminals will be connected to a centralized computer system for monitoring. The system requires video lottery game operators to pay 36% of adjusted gross receipts to the state lottery fund, with proceeds directed to public education and STEM programs. The bill sets strict regulations for terminal placement, age restrictions, and surveillance, and allows municipalities and counties to opt out of hosting video lottery game terminals within 120 days of the act's effective date. Licensees must undergo background checks, and the lottery commission will oversee the implementation and enforcement of the video lottery game system, with provisions for investigations, administrative hearings, and potential fines or license revocations for violations.
