Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The intent of this bill appears to be the same as the other bills introduced that eliminated all purse funds and development funds to the dog tracks except that the sponsors have amended that bill so that this elimination is only applicable to Mardi Gras, however, what is assumed to be a technical error would result in elimination of RVL purse money to greyhound racing at Wheeling Island. More specifically, it appears they forgot to amend the section for RVL purses so the only Lottery money going to purses is table games money—which is probably only about $600,000 or so.
The fiscal impact is as follows:
Admin Dollars to be transferred to Racing Commission: 1,311,101.00 *This would increase admin for the racing commission. However, because this amount is not specified using the language "actual costs and expenses" the Lottery would essentially lose double this amount in administrative funds because we would have to surplus this same amount at the end of the year**.
** Total Impact to the Lottery admin (2,622,202.00)
New money available for appropriation: 8,663,246.00
Less money taken away for code section change impacted by HB 101:(466,228.00)
Total new money available for appropriation: 8,197,018.00
Appropriated dollars available for other uses: 1,250,457.00
Purse dollars available for live racing at Wheeling:
Appropriated: 2,295,538.00
Statutory Table Games: 102,857.00
Total available: 2,398,395.00
Purse dollars redirected due to technical error in bill: 4,354,562.00
