Increases excursion gambling boat admission fees and the gaming revenue tax

HB 1552 increases the admission fee for excursion gambling boats from $25 to $52 per person and raises the gaming revenue tax rate from 21% to 25%. The bill directs specific portions of these fees and taxes to designated funds: $25 per ticket goes to the Missouri Historic Steamboat Museum Fund, $25 to the Veterans Commission Capital Improvement Trust Fund, and 25% of gaming revenue to the "Gaming Proceeds for Education Fund" for state education programs. Home dock cities or counties receive 10% of the adjusted gross receipts tax to fund public safety services related to gambling boats. The bill also specifies that all fees must be paid by boat operators, with no additional taxes imposed on licensees by local governments.
