AI Summary
This bill authorizes municipalities to impose a tax on charitable gaming facilities based on their enterprise value, allowing cities and towns to opt out of collecting this tax if they choose. While the specific details of the tax are not provided in the bill text, the legislation would create a new mechanism for local governments to potentially generate revenue from charitable gaming operations. The bill is set to take effect on April 1, 2026, and is currently awaiting a complete fiscal note from relevant state agencies, including the Department of Revenue Administration, Lottery Commission, and New Hampshire Municipal Association. At this stage, the full financial implications of the bill are not yet fully understood, as the agencies contacted are still gathering and analyzing information about the potential economic impact of the proposed tax.
