Bill Summary

Study of location of gambling operations. Requires the Indiana gaming commission (commission) to contract with an independent, qualified gaming industry research firm to conduct a study to identify the top two regions in the state where an owner's license for a riverboat could locate gaming operations. Requires the commission to present the results of the study to the state budget committee not later than November 1, 2025.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Indiana Gaming Commission to contract with an independent gaming research firm to conduct a comprehensive study identifying the top two regions in Indiana where a riverboat casino owner's license could be located. The study must analyze multiple factors including projected gaming and tax revenues, potential impacts on existing casinos, out-of-state visitor patronage, regional tourism, the horse racing industry, and the potential effects of a tribal casino in the area. The research firm must consider seven specific criteria, such as projected annual revenues, impact on other state casinos, and tourism implications. The Indiana Gaming Commission is mandated to present the study's findings to the state budget committee by November 1, 2025, with the entire section of the bill set to expire on January 1, 2027. The bill declares an emergency, which typically means it would take effect immediately upon passage, and aims to provide strategic insights for potential future casino developments in Indiana.
