An Act relative to payments of property taxes and payments made in lieu of property taxes for certain gaming licensees

This bill requires municipalities receiving property tax payments or "payments in lieu of taxes" from category 1 gaming licensees (gaming businesses) to spend that revenue equally across all wards or precincts. The funds must be used for specific local projects: public safety facilities/personnel, economic development initiatives, or infrastructure improvements within each individual ward or precinct. Municipalities must annually present a separate line-item budget request to their city council for each ward to cover these designated services. The bill mandates this spending structure, overriding other laws that might direct such funds differently.
