The Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) is a regulatory and civil law enforcement agency. It is not a forecasting agency and does not have the capability and resources to provide a fiscal analysis of HA #5 within the required 5 day period. The changes HA #5 makes to the Chicago casino tax structure are new and, accordingly, have not been reviewed and analyzed by the IGB. Other significant changes contained in the bill, such as the extension of the reconciliation payment to 6 years and the removal of interest on those payments, will reduce state revenues by an unknown amount that the IGB cannot estimate. Further, the acceleration of the reduced tax rate for current casinos will decrease state revenues by a similarly unknown amount. This provision will also impose substantial administrative and operational burdens on the IGB if the tax rate change goes into effect in an accelerated manner as proposed in HA #5, thereby delaying the IGBs ability to implement this rate change and other gaming expansion items. House Floor Amendment No. 6 In provisions amending the Illinois Gambling Act, provides that if at any point after June 1, 2020 there are no pending applications for an owners license for a newly authorized casino and not all owners licenses for newly authorized casinos have been issued (rather than if the Illinois Gaming Board does not issue all owners licenses for newly authorized casinos within the specified time period), then the Board shall reopen the license application process for owners licenses for newly authorized casinos that have not been issued. Provides that the Board shall follow the licensing process provided in the provisions with all time frames tied to the last date of a final order issued by the Board (instead of all time frames tied to the last date for issuing a license) rather than a specified date. Makes changes to the privilege tax rates for tables games to begin on the first date that a newly authorized casino conducts gambling operations. House Floor Amendment No. 7 Adds reference to: 230 ILCS 45/25-30 In provisions amending the Illinois Gambling Act, provides that fees for gaming positions for riverboats and casinos shall be paid by July 1, 2021 (rather than July 1, 2020).
