What’s in it

This bill relates to matters under the purview of the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing. The bill is organized in divisions. DIVISION I —— GAMBLING. The bill raises the $30,000-per-year total cap on reimbursements that the state racing and gaming commission (commission) may pay to all commissioners for expenses incurred in the performance of the commissioners’ duties to $70,000 per year. The bill grants the commission explicit authority to issue cease and desist orders and seek injunctive relief against persons who offer gambling services in the state without an appropriate license or authorization.

Read the full explanation

15(4). The bill expands the lifetime ban to include sports wagering and advance deposit sports wagering. The bill also imposes a lifetime ban from sports wagering and advance deposit sports wagering on a person who is convicted twice of unlawful betting. The bill requires state income tax to be withheld on winnings from gambling activities authorized under Code chapter 99D (pari-mutuel wagering) and from slot machines authorized under Code chapter 99F (gambling games and sports wagering regulation) if the winnings are in an amount sufficient to require that an information return be filed under the federal Internal Revenue Code, rather than if the winnings exceed certain amounts. This provision of the bill takes effect upon enactment. DIVISION II —— STATE BUILDING CODE. The bill requires the state building code commissioner to consult with the department of homeland security and emergency management, instead of the department of public defense, in adopting rules relating to safe rooms and storm shelters. The bill also requires fees collected by the state building code commissioner to be deposited in the licensing and regulation fund instead of the general fund of the state. DIVISION III —— RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES. The bill allows a residential care facility that is a pediatric palliative care center to serve as few as zero individuals. Under current law, an entity must serve at least three individuals to be defined as a residential care facility.
