Enacts provisions relating to gambling boat admission fees
HB 1492 establishes a $4 admission fee for each person boarding an excursion gambling boat in Missouri, with the revenue split among several specific funds. One dollar goes to the state gaming commission, one dollar is directed to the local home dock city or county, and the remaining two dollars are divided between a veterans capital improvement trust and two legacy funds dedicated to preserving Missouri's steamboat and transportation history. The bill also mandates that the admission fee be adjusted annually based on the federal consumer price index and clarifies that licensees must collect this fee even for complimentary tickets, while prohibiting additional local taxes on gambling operations.
