   (Gaming) Act.  Provides that the purpose of the Act is to make changes      
   in State programs relating to gaming that are necessary to implement        
   the State's FY2003 budget. Amends the Riverboat Gambling Act. Expands       
   the Mississippi River licenses to authorize the location of riverboats      
   in a municipality that (1) borders the Mississippi River or is within       
   5 miles of the city limits of a municipality that borders on the            
   Mississippi River and (2) has a riverboat conducting riverboat              
   gambling operations on the effective date. Changes the definition of        
   "riverboat"  to include permanently moored barges that are permanently      
   fixed together.  Increases the owners license renewal fee from  $5,000      
   per  year  to  $50,000  per  year.   Imposes a 10% supplemental tax on      
   annual adjusted gross receipts in excess  of  $200,000,000.   Provides

   of the gaming positions of a licensee that conducts riverboat gambling      
   from  a  home  dock in Rock Island County to certain owners licensees.      
   Authorizes certain  owners  licensees  to  use  the  gaming  positions      
   authorized  by  an  owners  license  under  which  riverboat  gambling      
   operations  are  not  being  conducted  on  the effective date of this      
   amendatory Act.  Provides that an owners  licensee  that  receives  an      
   owners  license  authorizing it to begin conducting riverboat gambling      
   operations on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act  must      
   attain  a  level of at least 20% minority person and female ownership,      
   at least 16% and  4%  respectively.   Provides  that  the  Board  must      
   (rather  than  may) issue 10 owners licenses.  Amends Public Act 91-40      
   to replace  that  Act's  inseverability  clause  with  a  severability      
   clause.  Effective immediately.

          In the opinion of DCCA, SB 2289 (HA #2) does not create a State
