establishing an elderly, disabled, blind, and deaf property tax exemption reimbursement fund, authorizing video lottery terminals, renaming the lottery commission, and creating a voluntary statewide self-exclusion database.
This bill's title misrepresents its content; it does not establish a property tax exemption fund or create a self-exclusion database. Instead, it primarily regulates video lottery terminals (VLTs) and gaming operations. Key provisions include defining "gross video lottery revenue" (excluding up to 12.5% free play), setting a 12% commission rate on historic horse race pools, and creating licensing requirements for supervisory ("primary") and non-supervisory ("secondary") gaming staff. The bill also amends definitions for game operator employers and gaming equipment, with effective date 60 days after passage. The title's mention of property tax exemptions and self-exclusion databases does not align with the bill's actual text.
