AI Summary
This bill updates the Mechanical Amusement Device Tax Act by changing several key provisions related to licensing for operators, distributors, and manufacturers of mechanical amusement devices and cash devices. The bill modifies the licensing period from annual to biennial for all three types of licensees and increases certain license fees, such as raising the distributor's device fee from $100 to $200 per device (with a maximum of $10,000 instead of $5,000) and the manufacturer's license fee from $5,000 to $10,000. The legislation also expands background check requirements, allowing the Department of Revenue to conduct checks at any time, including fingerprinting and criminal history investigations, for operators, distributors, and manufacturers. The bill provides detailed criteria for denying or revoking licenses, which include criminal history, violations of the act, fraud, failure to pay taxes, and other misconduct. Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions of terms like "distributor" and "mechanical amusement device" and requires licensees to check for outstanding state debts before paying out winnings from cash devices. These changes aim to enhance regulatory oversight and ensure the integrity of mechanical amusement device operations in Nebraska.
