An Act making appropriations from the restricted revenue accounts within the State Gaming Fund and from the restricted revenue accounts within the Fantasy Contest Fund and Video Gaming Fund to the Attorney General, the Department of Revenue, the Pennsylvania State Police and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and for the payment of bills incurred and remaining unpaid at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.

SB 288 is a funding bill that allocates money from Pennsylvania's gaming-related revenue accounts to state agencies for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It directs funds from the State Gaming Fund, Fantasy Contest Fund, and Video Gaming Fund to the Attorney General, Department of Revenue, Pennsylvania State Police, and Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. These funds cover salaries and expenses related to overseeing gaming regulations under existing law (4 Pa.C.S. Sections II and I), including oversight of slot machines, fantasy contests, and video gaming. The bill also includes payment for bills incurred but unpaid as of June 30, 2025. It does not create new policies but provides budgetary support for current gaming oversight responsibilities.
