SB 823 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 4 (Amusements) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in revenues, further providing for transfers from State Gaming Fund.

SB 823 allocates $2 million annually from Pennsylvania's State Gaming Fund to local law enforcement agencies for investigating and enforcing laws related to unlawful gambling. The funding specifically covers violations of gambling statutes (18 Pa.C.S. § 5513) and related offenses like animal fighting (18 Pa.C.S. §§ 5543-5544). This includes Pennsylvania State Police when providing primary police coverage in municipalities without their own police departments. The bill amends existing law to formalize these grant provisions and takes effect 60 days after enactment.
