Bill > HB1340

This bill makes appropriations (allocations of government funds) for the fiscal year 2025-2026 from three specific restricted revenue accounts related to gaming in Pennsylvania: the State Gaming Fund, the Fantasy Contest Fund, and the Video Gaming Fund. The bill allocates funds to four key agencies: the Attorney General ($1.7 million), the Department of Revenue ($9.133 million total across different funds), the Pennsylvania State Police ($41.857 million), and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board ($67.178 million total across different funds). These appropriations are intended to cover salaries, wages, and necessary expenses related to gaming regulation, administration, and oversight. The bill specifically prohibits transferring money between or within the appropriations in these three fund parts and will take effect on July 1, 2025, or immediately thereafter. The funds come from various sources such as slot machine licensee deposits, fantasy contest licensed operator deposits, and regulatory assessments, and are designated to support the agencies' work in regulating and managing gaming activities across different sectors including slot machines, fantasy contests, and video gaming.
