Bill > SF2289

This bill makes several changes related to the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing, including increasing the maximum annual expense reimbursement for commission members from thirty thousand to seventy thousand dollars, and granting the commission the authority to issue cease and desist orders and seek injunctive relief against unlicensed entities offering pari-mutuel wagering, advance deposit wagering, or internet fantasy sports contests. It also clarifies that state income tax withholding on gambling winnings will be based on federal reporting requirements rather than fixed dollar amounts for certain types of winnings, and that individuals barred for life from gambling activities will also be barred from sports wagering and advance deposit sports wagering. Additionally, the bill transfers the responsibility for adopting rules on safe rooms and storm shelters from the Department of Public Defense to the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, directs fees collected by the commissioner to a new licensing and regulation fund, and exempts certain pediatric palliative care residential care facilities from specific regulations, allowing them to serve any number of individuals.
