Senate Sponsors: PHILIP Short description: GAMING-BAN POST-DATE CHKS-ATM Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 and the Riverboat Gambling Act. Provides that no person may conduct or authorize the installation of automated teller machines, the cashing of a post-dated check, the cashing of a welfare check, or the loaning of money to a person on the grounds of the race track or the inter-track wagering facility or inter-track wagering location facility of an organization licensee under the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 or the riverboat or dock of an owners licensee under the Riverboat Gambling Act. Provides that a violation is a Class B misdemeanor. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Gaming Board) There would likely be both immediate and long term reductions in wagering and State revenue. Based on current figures, each 1% reduction in adjusted gross receipts would reduce wagering tax revenue by approximately $4.5 million annually. FISCAL NOTE (Department of Corrections) There would be no corrections population or fiscal impact. CORRECTIONAL NOTE (Department of Corrections) Same as DOC fiscal note. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Further amends the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 and the Riverboat Gambling Act. Removes the provisions prohibiting the authorization or installation of automated teller machines at facilities licensed under either of those Acts. Removes the provisions prohibiting a licensee under either of those Acts or a bank from loaning money to a person at a licensed facility. Changes "welfare check" to "State or municipal government check". FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Illinois Racing Board) HB 2884, as amended by H-am 1, would have virtually no fiscal impact on Illinois Racing Board revenues. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Corrections) Same as previous DOC note. CORRECTIONAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Corrections) Same as previous DOC note.

FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 2, 3 (Illinois Gaming Board) HB 2884, as amended, would potentially reduce the amount wagered and the amount of gaming tax revenue taken by the State. The magnitude of this reduction is impossible to pre- dict.
