Bill > SF0111

This bill establishes a new "select committee on gaming" within the Wyoming Legislature, composed of three senators appointed by the president of the senate and three representatives appointed by the speaker of the house, with appointments reflecting the political party balance in each chamber and co-chairmen designated from each house. The committee's duties include developing expertise on authorized and proposed gaming activities in Wyoming, understanding the laws and regulatory bodies involved, engaging with local governments and interested parties about gaming's social and community impacts, including responsible gaming and problem gambling, reviewing fiscal and compliance aspects like taxes and revenue distribution, and ultimately submitting recommendations and sponsoring legislation as needed. The bill also appropriates $34,000 from the general fund to the legislative service office to cover salaries, mileage, per diem, and other expenses for the committee members, and it takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
