Short description: 
RIVRBT-SPEC OWN LIC-E ST LOUIS                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Riverboat Gambling Act. Provides that  a  municipality      
   that  meets  certain  specifications and in which a riverboat licensee      
   docks may issue a special owners license that  permits  the  owner  to      
   conduct   riverboat   gambling   on   one  riverboat  that  is  either      
   self-propelled or permanently  moored  or  in  one  land-based  gaming      
   facility.  Amends  other  Acts  to conform to the changes  made in the      
   Riverboat Gambling Act.  Effective immediately.                             
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Further amends the Riverboat  Gambling  Act.  Provides  that  tax      
   revenue  received  by  a  municipality  from a special owners licensee      
   shall not be used  to  fund  fire  departments,  to  pay  salaries  of      
   firemen, or to build or repair fire stations.                               
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1                                   
          HB1819, with H-am 1, fails to create a State mandate.                
          HOME RULE NOTE, H-AM 1                                               
          HB1819, with H-am 1, does not preempt home rule authority.           
          FISCAL NOTE, AMENDED (Illinois Gaming Board)                         
          Estimated adjusted gross receipts would increase by $32 M (25%       
          over current levels), of which $1.6 M would be transferred to        
          E.St.Louis and $4.8 M retained by the State. The Gaming Board        
          would need approximately $1 M in its operations budget for the       
          additional license.                                                  
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 4.                                                 
        Further  amends  the  Riverboat   Gambling   Act.   Changes   the      
   qualifications for receipt of tax revenue from taxes on special owners      
   licensees.
