Bill > HB2919

This bill modifies provisions related to the Missouri Gaming Commission, primarily by updating its powers and responsibilities concerning excursion gambling boats and their operations. Key changes include allowing the commission to annually adjust the admission fee for inflation, and altering the distribution of the admission fee, with a portion now going to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Fund for preserving historic artifacts. The bill also clarifies that the commission has broad authority to investigate applicants, license operators and games, set operational standards, enforce compliance through penalties and removal of individuals, and ensure fair play with a minimum payout requirement for gambling devices. It also mandates that gambling boat operators offer patrons a way to opt out of their identifying information being used for marketing purposes.
