Fiscal Note, House Amendment No. 1 (H-AM 1)(Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
HB 24 (H-AM 1) based on Gaming Board staffing recommendations, the Illinois Gaming Board would need an additional $4,340,000 for additional investigators, administrative staff, and additional support.

Judicial Note, House Amendment No. 1 (H-AM 1)(Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
HB 24 (H-AM 1) would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State.

Pension Note, House Amendment No. 1 (H-AM 1)(Government Forecasting & Accountability)

Housing Affordability Impact Note, House Amendment No. 1 (H-AM 1)(Housing Development Authority)

Judicial Note, House Amendment No. 1 (H-AM 1)(Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)

Fiscal Note, House Amendment No. 1 (H-AM 1)(Dept. of Revenue)

Balanced Budget Note, House Amendment No. 1 (H-AM 1)(Office of Management and Budget)
The Governor's Office of Management and Budget estimates that this legislation, since effective July 1, 2007, would have no budgetary impact to the Fiscal Year 2007 budget. Fiscal Year 2007 appropriations for the Illinois Gaming Board are $18.7 million from the State Gaming Fund. However, using FY2007 as a model, if enacted into law, in Fiscal Year 2008 this legislation would require additional appropriations estimated between $1.5 million to $2.0 million, which could result in a budget which is not balanced. In addition, the alternative pension formula is more expansive than the current pension formula, so adding additional employees to this formula will have a long term impact on the balanced budget.
