Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Charitable Games Act. Transfers all the powers of the Department of Revenue under the Act to the Illinois Gaming Board and makes related changes. Extends the licensure period from one year to 2 years. Changes the application and renewal fees from an annual $200 fee to a $400 fee for the 2-year licensure period. Provides that participation in the management or operation of the games is limited to no more than 12 (rather than 4) charitable games events, either of the sponsoring organization or any other licensed organization, during a calendar year. Provides that no single bet at any game may exceed $20. Provides that at the conclusion of the event or when the participant leaves, he or she may cash in his or her chips, scrip, or play money in exchange for currency not to exceed $500 in cash winnings (instead of $250) or unlimited noncash prizes. Provides that the provider of the premises, other than a municipality, may not rent or otherwise provide the premises for the conducting of more than one charitable games night per month (rather than 8 charitable games nights per year). Provides that 5% of the net proceeds (rather than 3% of the gross proceeds) of charitable games shall be paid to the Illinois Gaming Board. Provides that establishments that have video gaming terminals licensed under the Video Gaming Act may operate them along with charitable games under rules adopted by the Illinois Gaming Board. Makes other changes.

 Fiscal Note (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 HB 4020 makes numerous changes regarding charitable gaming. While some of the changes may lead to an increase in the amount of revenue generated from charitable gaming, the impact is expected to be minimal. The total amount of revenue generated from charitable gaming in FY 2011 was approximately $0.5 million.
