Bill > HB1559

This bill modifies the existing law regarding video lottery terminal (VLT) revenue allocation by changing the percentage of gross video lottery revenue distributed to addiction, treatment, and prevention services. While the specific new percentage is not clearly stated in the provided XML (the numeric value for the percentage is missing), the bill shifts the allocation from being distributed to the "governor's commission on addiction, treatment, and prevention" to being directly deposited into the "addiction, treatment, and prevention fund" established under RSA 176-A:1. The bill appears to be focused on ensuring that funds generated from video lottery terminals are more directly channeled to addressing gaming-related addiction and prevention services. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its passage, providing a standard transition period for implementation. By redirecting these funds, the bill aims to potentially improve funding and oversight for problem gaming services in New Hampshire.
