Bill > SB83

This bill renames the state lottery commission to the "New Hampshire lottery and gaming commission" to better reflect its duties, establishes a new chapter to regulate video lottery terminals (VLTs) which are defined as electronic gaming devices that randomly determine outcomes and award cash or credits, and allows these VLTs to be operated at facilities licensed for charitable gaming. It also creates an "Elderly, Disabled, Blind, and Deaf Exemption Reimbursement Fund" to reimburse municipalities for property tax revenue lost due to these exemptions, which will be funded in part by fees from VLT operations. Furthermore, the bill mandates the creation of a centralized, voluntary statewide self-exclusion database to help combat problem gambling by allowing individuals to opt out of all legal gaming activities in the state, with records kept confidential except with the individual's consent.
