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.

A fiscal note by the Racing Commission is also necessary. As drafted, an additional $8,791,817 will be generated to the State Excess Lottery Fund, and an additional $3,545,995 will be freed up to fund other programs, however, because of the change to the Thoroughbred Development Fund, the state will also lose about $466,228.
