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. Presuming the bill is passed and goes into effect consistent with the Lottery's current licensure/renewal timeline, HB2047 will have no fiscal impact on costs or revenues. The bill proposes to amend the WV Table Games Act (W. Va. Code 29-22C-2, 4, 6, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 29, 31) and Authorized Gaming Facility Act (29-25-2, 3, 8, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 25 and 27) to strike the terms "license/licensee" with respect to certain racetrack/casino employees and re-classify such individuals and licenses as "registrants and registrations." The bill also proposes additional technical changes.

Memorandum


Please identify any areas of vagueness, technical defects, reasons a bill would not have a fiscal impact, and/or any special issues not captured elsewhere on this form. Presuming the bill is passed and goes into effect consistent with the Lottery's current licensure/renewal timeline, HB2047 will have no fiscal impact on costs or revenues. No costs of licensure/registration are impacted and the bill does not remove any tangible barriers to licensure that would increase those licensed in West Virginia to perform the impacted functions. However, the bill would require considerable Lottery efforts and resources to amend current forms, rules and other documents without fiscal benefit.
