Current Bill Summary

SB 991 - This act authorizes the General Assembly to redirect one cent of the two dollar admission fee paid to the Gaming Commission to the credit of the "Compulsive Gamblers Fund". The services funded by this fee have been expanded to include a variety of programs established to treat and prevent compulsive gambling.

This act authorizes the Gaming Commission to contract for services to deal with compulsive gambling. This act also allows individuals to voluntarily exclude themselves from excursion gambling boats, thereby electing to expose themselves to a conviction of trespassing in the first degree and full forfeiture of any gambling chips, tokens or electronic gaming credits in their possession.
