Deletes everything. Amends the Riverboat Gambling Act. Authorizes all owners licensees that operate from home docks on the Mississippi River (now one such licensee) to relocate to new home dock locations that meet specified requirements. Provides that if an owners license terminates or expires without renewal or the Board revokes or determines not to renew an owners license, it may re-issue the owners license pursuant to a competitive bidding process. Provides that if the Gaming Board determines that the highest prospective total revenue to the State would be derived from State conduct of the gambling operation in lieu of reissuing the license, it shall so inform each applicant and commence a competitive bidding process for issuance of a managers license. If the Board elects to conduct riverboat gambling operations previously authorized by a terminated, expired, nonrenewed, or revoked owners license, it may do so without an owners license and the number of owners licenses that the Board may issue shall be reduced by one. Provides that the Gaming Board shall have jurisdiction over and shall supervise all State gambling operations. Authorizes qualified persons to apply for a managers license to operate and manage any gambling operation conducted by the State. Provides that making a false statement on a managers license application is a Class A misdemeanor. Provides that issuance of a managers license shall be subject to a competitive bidding process. Sets specific procedures for the bidding for owners licenses and managers licenses. Changes the admission tax rate to a graduated rate based on admissions in the previous year. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 5
Further amends the Riverboat Gambling Act. Provides that the Gaming Board may not re-issue an owners license unless the Board's revocation or determination not to renew the license is final. Amends Public Act 91-40 to replace that Public Act's inseverability clause with a severability clause. Effective immediately.
