Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975. Provides that, beginning on the effective date and until moneys deposited into the Horse Racing Equity Fund are distributed and received, a pari-mutuel tax at the rate of 0.25% (instead of 1.5%) of the daily pari-mutuel handle is imposed at a pari-mutuel facility whose license is derived from a track located in a county that borders the Mississippi River and conducted live racing in the previous year. Effective immediately.

Fiscal Note (Department of Revenue)

Would reduce the pari-mutuel tax moneys collected from a horse racing track located in a county that borders the Mississippi River and its associated inter-track wagering locations and deposited into the General Revenue Fund by approximately $1.37 million per year beginning on the effective date of the amendatory act and ending when riverboat gambling operations are conducted under the dormant owners license authorized under the Riverboat Gambling Act.
