each applicant to recruit, train and upgrade | ||||||
22 | minority persons and females in all employment | ||||||
23 | classifications;
| ||||||
24 | (5) the financial ability of the applicant to purchase | ||||||
25 | and maintain

2 | subsections (e-5) and
(e-10), The Board may issue up to 10 | ||||||
3 | licenses authorizing the holders of such
licenses to own | ||||||
4 | riverboats. In the application for an owners license, the
| ||||||
5 | applicant shall state the dock at which the riverboat is based | ||||||

| ||||||
10 | by the municipality in which the
riverboat is docked on August | ||||||
11 | 7, 2003,
the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd
| ||||||
12 | Assembly,
in a
municipality that (1) borders on the Mississippi | ||||||
13 | River or is within 5
miles of the city limits of a municipality | ||||||
14 | that borders on the Mississippi
River and (2), on August 7, | ||||||
15 | 2003,
the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd | ||||||
16 | General
Assembly, has a riverboat conducting riverboat | ||||||
17 | gambling operations pursuant to
a license issued under this | ||||||
18 | Act; , one of which shall authorize riverboat
gambling from a | ||||||
19 | home dock in the city of East St. Louis. One other license
| ||||||
20 | shall
authorize riverboat gambling on
the Illinois River south | ||||||
21 | of Marshall County. The Board shall issue one
additional | ||||||
22 | license to become effective not earlier than March 1, 1992, | ||||||
23 | which
shall authorize riverboat gambling on the Des Plaines | ||||||
24 | River in Will County.
The Board may issue 4 additional licenses | ||||||
25 | to become effective not
earlier than
March 1, 1992. In | ||||||
26 | determining the water upon which riverboats will operate,
the | ||||||
27 | Board shall consider the economic benefit which riverboat | ||||||
28 | gambling confers
on the State, and shall seek to assure that | ||||||
29 | all regions of the State share
in the economic benefits of | ||||||
30 | riverboat gambling.
| ||||||
31 | In granting all licenses, the Board may give favorable | ||||||
32 | consideration to
economically depressed areas of the State, to | ||||||
33 | applicants presenting plans
which provide for significant | ||||||
34 | economic development over a large geographic
area, and to | ||||||
35 | applicants who currently operate non-gambling riverboats in
| ||||||
36 | Illinois.
The Board shall review all applications for owners |
| |||||||
|
|||||||
1 | licenses,
and shall inform each applicant of the Board's | ||||||
2 | decision.
Except for a license issued under subsection (e-5), | ||||||
3 | The Board may grant an owners license to an
applicant that has | ||||||
4 | not submitted the highest license bid, but if it does not
| ||||||
5 | select the highest bidder, the Board shall issue a written | ||||||
6 | decision explaining
why another
applicant was selected and | ||||||
7 | identifying the factors set forth in this Section
that favored | ||||||
8 | the winning bidder.
| ||||||
9 | (e-5) In addition to licenses authorized under subsections | ||||||
10 | (e) and (e-10),
the Board
may issue one owners license | ||||||
11 | authorizing the conduct of riverboat gambling
operations from a | ||||||
12 | home dock in a municipality with a population of more than
| ||||||
13 | 500,000 inhabitants. An owners license issued under this | ||||||
14 | subsection (e-5)
shall be issued only to the governing board of | ||||||
15 | the municipality in which its
home dock is located. No such | ||||||
16 | license may be awarded to any other person or
entity. If a | ||||||
17 | license is issued to the governing board of a municipality
| ||||||
18 | pursuant to this subsection (e-5), that governing board shall | ||||||
19 | conduct an
auction and grant the opportunity to manage the | ||||||
20 | riverboat gambling operations
authorized by that license to the | ||||||
21 | highest qualified bidder. | ||||||
22 | (e-10) In addition to licenses authorized under | ||||||
23 | subsections (e) and (e-5),
the Board may issue one owners | ||||||
24 | license authorizing the conduct of riverboat
gambling | ||||||
25 | operations from a home dock located outside of the City of | ||||||
26 | Chicago,
but in Cook County and in one of the following | ||||||
27 | townships: Bloom,
Thornton, Rich, Orland, Calumet, Worth, | ||||||
28 | Palos, Bremen, or Lemont Township. | ||||||
29 | (e-15) In addition to any other revocation powers granted | ||||||
30 | to the Board under this
Act,
the Board may revoke the owners | ||||||
31 | license of a licensee which fails
to begin conducting gambling | ||||||
32 | within 15 months
of receipt of the
Board's approval of the | ||||||
33 | application if the Board determines that license
revocation is | ||||||
34 | in the best interests of the State.
| ||||||
35 | (f) The first 10 owners licenses issued under this Act | ||||||
36 | shall permit the
holder to own up to 2 riverboats and equipment |
| |||||||
|
|||||||
1 | thereon
for a period of 3 years after the effective date of the | ||||||
2 | license. Holders of
the first 10 owners licenses must pay the | ||||||
3 | annual license fee for each of
the 3
years during which they | ||||||
4 | are authorized to own riverboats.
| ||||||
5 | (g) Upon the termination, expiration, or revocation of each | ||||||
6 | owners license of the first
10 licenses , which shall be issued | ||||||
7 | for a 3 year period, all licenses are
renewable annually upon | ||||||
8 | payment of the fee and a determination by the Board
that the | ||||||
9 | licensee continues to meet all of the requirements of this Act | ||||||
10 | and the
Board's rules.
However, for licenses renewed on or | ||||||
11 | after May 1, 1998, renewal shall be
for a period of 4 years, | ||||||
12 | unless the Board sets a shorter period.
| ||||||
13 | (h) An owners license shall entitle the licensee to own up | ||||||
14 | to 2
riverboats. A licensee , other than a licensee that | ||||||
15 | receives its owners license under subsection (e-5), shall limit | ||||||
16 | the number of gambling participants to
2,000
1,200 for any such | ||||||
17 | owners license.
A licensee may operate both of its riverboats | ||||||
18 | concurrently, provided that the
total number of gambling | ||||||
19 | participants on both riverboats does not exceed
2,000
1,200 . | ||||||
20 | Notwithstanding any provision in this subsection (h) to the | ||||||
21 | contrary, a licensee
that receives
its owners license under | ||||||
22 | subsection (e-5) shall limit the number of
gambling
| ||||||
23 | participants to the number set by the Board, which may not | ||||||
24 | exceed 4,000
participants at one time. In setting the number of | ||||||
25 | participants that a
licensee that receives its license under | ||||||
26 | subsection (e-5) may admit,
the Board
shall consider the best | ||||||
27 | interests of the riverboat gambling industry. Riverboats | ||||||
28 | licensed to operate on the
Mississippi River and the Illinois | ||||||
29 | River south of Marshall County shall
have an authorized | ||||||
30 | capacity of at least 500 persons. Any other riverboat
licensed | ||||||
31 | under this Act shall have an authorized capacity of at least | ||||||
32 | 400
persons.
| ||||||
33 | (i) A licensed owner is authorized to apply to the Board | ||||||
34 | for and, if
approved therefor, to receive all licenses from the | ||||||
35 | Board necessary for the
operation of a riverboat, including a | ||||||
36 | liquor license, a license
to prepare and serve food for human |
| |||||||
|
|||||||
1 | consumption, and other necessary
licenses. All use, occupation | ||||||
2 | and excise taxes which apply to the sale of
food and beverages | ||||||
3 | in this State and all taxes imposed on the sale or use
of | ||||||
4 | tangible personal property apply to such sales aboard the | ||||||
5 | riverboat.
| ||||||
6 | (j) The Board may issue or re-issue a license authorizing a | ||||||
7 | riverboat to
dock
in a municipality or approve a relocation | ||||||
8 | under Section 11.2 only if, prior
to the issuance or | ||||||
9 | re-issuance of
the license or approval, the governing body of | ||||||
10 | the municipality in which
the riverboat will dock has by a | ||||||
11 | majority vote approved the docking of
riverboats in the | ||||||
12 | municipality. The Board may issue or re-issue a license
| ||||||
13 | authorizing a
riverboat to dock in areas of a county outside | ||||||
14 | any municipality or approve a
relocation under Section 11.2 | ||||||
15 | only if, prior to the issuance or re-issuance
of the license
or | ||||||
16 | approval, the
governing body of the county has by a majority | ||||||
17 | vote approved of the docking of
riverboats within such areas.
