Bill > HB84

This bill modifies the admission fee for excursion gambling boats in Missouri, increasing the fee from two to four dollars per person. Under the new law, one dollar will be deposited into the gaming commission fund, one dollar will be paid to the home dock city or county, and two dollars will be paid to the veterans commission capital improvement trust fund. The bill also introduces an annual adjustment mechanism where the commission must review and potentially update the admission fee each year based on the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, ensuring the fee keeps pace with inflation. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions that allow licensees to charge additional amounts for admission tickets and issue fee-free passes to certain officials and employees, while requiring a list of such pass recipients to be filed with the commission. The legislation preserves existing tax-related provisions, including protections against exclusive taxation of gambling licensees by political subdivisions and maintaining confidentiality of tax information shared between the department of revenue and the gaming commission.
