Permits riverboat gambling on permanently moored barges. Permits dockside gambling if the municipality or county submits to the voters the question of whether dockside gambling should be allowed in the municipality or county. Allows a licensee that receives Board permission to operate a secondary home dock location and move up to two-thirds of its gaming positions to that location if the licensee meets certain requirements. Deletes provision that allows gambling excursion cruises only when the navigable stream for which the riverboat is licensed is navigable. Changes the license renewal period to 4 years. Effective immediately. HOME RULE NOTE HB 607 does not preempt home rule authority. STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE In the opinion of DCCA, HB 607 fails to create a State mandate under the State Mandates Act. FISCAL NOTE (Ill. Gaming Board) Agency operating expenses will likely increase as a result of having to oversee aditional docksites. Overall, an increase of three new sites would likely increase operating expenses of IGB by about 25 percent, (about $3 million annually). STATE DEBT IMPACT NOTE HB 607 would not impact State Debt. 97-02-06 H FIRST READING 97-02-06 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-02-10 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE 97-02-19 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR BOLAND 97-03-12 H HOME RULE NOTE FILED 97-03-12 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE FILED 97-03-12 H COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE 97-03-13 H FISCAL NOTE FILED 97-03-13 H COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE 97-03-14 H STATE DEBT IMPACT NOTE FILED 97-03-14 H COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE 97-03-21 H RE-REFERRED TO RULES COMM/RULE 19(A) RULES HRUL 99-01-12 H SESSION SINE DIE END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
