riverboats. In the application for an owners license, the
applicant shall state the dock at which the riverboat is based
and the water on which the riverboat will be located. The Board
shall issue 5 licenses to become effective not earlier than
January 1, 1991. Three of such licenses shall authorize
riverboat gambling on the Mississippi River, or, with approval
by the municipality in which the riverboat was docked on
August 7, 2003 and with Board approval, be authorized to
relocate to a new location, in a municipality that (1) borders

In determining the water upon which riverboats will operate,
the Board shall consider the economic benefit which riverboat
gambling confers on the State, and shall seek to assure that
all regions of the State share in the economic benefits of
riverboat gambling.
    In granting all licenses, the Board may give favorable
consideration to economically depressed areas of the State, to
applicants presenting plans which provide for significant
economic development over a large geographic area, and to
applicants who currently operate non-gambling riverboats in
Illinois. The Board shall review all applications for owners
licenses, and shall inform each applicant of the Board's
decision. The Board may grant an owners license to an
applicant that has not submitted the highest license bid, but
if it does not select the highest bidder, the Board shall issue
a written decision explaining why another applicant was
selected and identifying the factors set forth in this Section
that favored the winning bidder. The fee for issuance or
renewal of a license pursuant to this subsection (e) shall be
$250,000.

        (6) the Board may issue one owners license authorizing
    the conduct of riverboat gambling in the unincorporated
    area of Williamson County adjacent to the Big Muddy River.
    Except for the license authorized under paragraph (1),
each application for a license pursuant to this subsection
(e-5) shall be submitted to the Board no later than 120 days
after June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-31).
All applications for a license under this subsection (e-5)
shall include the nonrefundable application fee and the
nonrefundable background investigation fee as provided in
subsection (d) of Section 6 of this Act. In the event that an

date of Public Act 101-31), such applicant shall submit the
nonrefundable application fee and background investigation fee
as provided in subsection (d) of Section 6 of this Act no later
than 6 months after June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public
Act 101-31).
    The Board shall consider issuing a license pursuant to

has certified to the Board the following:
        (i) that the applicant has negotiated with the
    corporate authority or county board in good faith;

    revenues that will be shared with the municipality or
    county, if any;
        (v) that the applicant and the corporate authority or
    county board have mutually agreed on any zoning,
    licensing, public health, or other issues that are within
    the jurisdiction of the municipality or county;
        (vi) that the corporate authority or county board has
    passed a resolution or ordinance in support of the
    riverboat or casino in the municipality or county;

        (viii) the applicant for a license under paragraph (1)

    summary has been posted on a public website of the
    municipality or the county.
    At least 7 days before the corporate authority of a
municipality or county board of the county submits a
certification to the Board concerning items (i) through (viii)
of this subsection, it shall hold a public hearing to discuss
items (i) through (viii), as well as any other details
concerning the proposed riverboat or casino in the
municipality or county. The corporate authority or county
board must subsequently memorialize the details concerning the
proposed riverboat or casino in a resolution that must be
adopted by a majority of the corporate authority or county
board before any certification is sent to the Board. The Board
shall not alter, amend, change, or otherwise interfere with
any agreement between the applicant and the corporate
authority of the municipality or county board of the county
regarding the location of any temporary or permanent facility.
    In addition, within 10 days after June 28, 2019 (the
effective date of Public Act 101-31), the Board, with consent
and at the expense of the City of Chicago, shall select and
retain the services of a nationally recognized casino gaming
feasibility consultant. Within 45 days after June 28, 2019
(the effective date of Public Act 101-31), the consultant
shall prepare and deliver to the Board a study concerning the
feasibility of, and the ability to finance, a casino in the
City of Chicago. The feasibility study shall be delivered to
the Mayor of the City of Chicago, the Governor, the President
of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives. Ninety days after receipt of the feasibility
study, the Board shall make a determination, based on the
results of the feasibility study, whether to recommend to the
General Assembly that the terms of the license under paragraph
(1) of this subsection (e-5) should be modified. The Board may
begin accepting applications for the owners license under
paragraph (1) of this subsection (e-5) upon the determination
to issue such an owners license.
    In addition, prior to the Board issuing the owners license
authorized under paragraph (4) of subsection (e-5), an impact
study shall be completed to determine what location in the
city will provide the greater impact to the region, including
the creation of jobs and the generation of tax revenue.
    (e-10) The licenses authorized under subsection (e-5) of
this Section shall be issued within 12 months after the date
the license application is submitted. If the Board does not
issue the licenses within that time period, then the Board
shall give a written explanation to the applicant as to why it
has not reached a determination and when it reasonably expects
to make a determination. The fee for the issuance or renewal of
a license issued pursuant to this subsection (e-10) shall be
$250,000. Additionally, a licensee located outside of Cook
County shall pay a minimum initial fee of $17,500 per gaming

initial fees payable under this subsection (e-10) shall be
deposited into the Rebuild Illinois Projects Fund. If at any
point after June 1, 2020 there are no pending applications for
a license under subsection (e-5) and not all licenses
authorized under subsection (e-5) have been issued, then the
Board shall reopen the license application process for those
licenses authorized under subsection (e-5) that have not been
issued. The Board shall follow the licensing process provided
in subsection (e-5) with all time frames tied to the last date
of a final order issued by the Board under subsection (e-5)
rather than the effective date of the amendatory Act.
    (e-15) Each licensee of a license authorized under
subsection (e-5) of this Section shall make a reconciliation
payment 3 years after the date the licensee begins operating
in an amount equal to 75% of the adjusted gross receipts for
the most lucrative 12-month period of operations, minus an
amount equal to the initial payment per gaming position paid
by the specific licensee. Each licensee shall pay a
$15,000,000 reconciliation fee upon issuance of an owners
license. If this calculation results in a negative amount,
then the licensee is not entitled to any reimbursement of fees
previously paid. This reconciliation payment may be made in
installments over a period of no more than 6 years.
    All payments by licensees under this subsection (e-15)
shall be deposited into the Rebuild Illinois Projects Fund.
    (e-20) In addition to any other revocation powers granted
to the Board under this Act, the Board may revoke the owners
license of a licensee which fails to begin conducting gambling
within 15 months of receipt of the Board's approval of the
application if the Board determines that license revocation is
in the best interests of the State.
    (f) The first 10 owners licenses issued under this Act
shall permit the holder to own up to 2 riverboats and equipment
thereon for a period of 3 years after the effective date of the
license. Holders of the first 10 owners licenses must pay the
annual license fee for each of the 3 years during which they
are authorized to own riverboats.
    (g) Upon the termination, expiration, or revocation of
each of the first 10 licenses, which shall be issued for a
3-year period, all licenses are renewable annually upon
payment of the fee and a determination by the Board that the
licensee continues to meet all of the requirements of this Act
and the Board's rules. However, for licenses renewed on or
after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd
General Assembly May 1, 1998, renewal shall be for a period of
4 years, unless the Board sets a shorter period.
    (h) An owners license, except for an owners license issued
under subsection (e-5) of this Section, shall entitle the
licensee to own up to 2 riverboats.
    An owners licensee of a casino or riverboat that is
located in the City of Chicago pursuant to paragraph (1) of
subsection (e-5) of this Section shall limit the number of
gaming positions to 4,000 for such owner. An owners licensee
authorized under subsection (e) or paragraph (2), (3), (4), or
(5) of subsection (e-5) of this Section shall limit the number
of gaming positions to 2,000 for any such owners license. An
owners licensee authorized under paragraph (6) of subsection
(e-5) of this Section shall limit the number of gaming
positions to 1,200 for such owner. The initial fee for each
gaming position obtained on or after June 28, 2019 (the
effective date of Public Act 101-31) shall be a minimum of
$17,500 for licensees not located in Cook County and a minimum
of $30,000 for licensees located in Cook County, in addition
to the reconciliation payment, as set forth in subsection
(e-15) of this Section. The fees under this subsection (h)
shall be deposited into the Rebuild Illinois Projects Fund.
The fees under this subsection (h) that are paid by an owners
licensee authorized under subsection (e) shall be paid by July
1, 2021.
    Each owners licensee under subsection (e) of this Section
shall reserve its gaming positions within 30 days after June
28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-31). The Board
may grant an extension to this 30-day period, provided that
the owners licensee submits a written request and explanation
as to why it is unable to reserve its positions within the
30-day period.
    Each owners licensee under subsection (e-5) of this
Section shall reserve its gaming positions within 30 days
after issuance of its owners license. The Board may grant an
extension to this 30-day period, provided that the owners
licensee submits a written request and explanation as to why
it is unable to reserve its positions within the 30-day
period.
    A licensee may operate both of its riverboats
concurrently, provided that the total number of gaming
positions on both riverboats does not exceed the limit
established pursuant to this subsection. Riverboats licensed
to operate on the Mississippi River and the Illinois River
south of Marshall County shall have an authorized capacity of
at least 500 persons. Any other riverboat licensed under this
Act shall have an authorized capacity of at least 400 persons.
    (h-5) An owners licensee who conducted gambling operations
prior to January 1, 2012 and obtains positions pursuant to
Public Act 101-31 shall make a reconciliation payment 3 years
after any additional gaming positions begin operating in an
amount equal to 75% of the owners licensee's average gross
receipts for the most lucrative 12-month period of operations
minus an amount equal to the initial fee that the owners
licensee paid per additional gaming position. For purposes of
this subsection (h-5), "average gross receipts" means (i) the
increase in adjusted gross receipts for the most lucrative
12-month period of operations over the adjusted gross receipts
for 2019, multiplied by (ii) the percentage derived by
dividing the number of additional gaming positions that an
owners licensee had obtained by the total number of gaming
positions operated by the owners licensee. If this calculation
results in a negative amount, then the owners licensee is not
entitled to any reimbursement of fees previously paid. This
reconciliation payment may be made in installments over a
period of no more than 6 years. These reconciliation payments
shall be deposited into the Rebuild Illinois Projects Fund.
    (i) A licensed owner is authorized to apply to the Board
for and, if approved therefor, to receive all licenses from
the Board necessary for the operation of a riverboat or
casino, including a liquor license, a license to prepare and
serve food for human consumption, and other necessary
licenses. All use, occupation, and excise taxes which apply to
the sale of food and beverages in this State and all taxes
imposed on the sale or use of tangible personal property apply
to such sales aboard the riverboat or in the casino.
    (j) The Board may issue or re-issue a license authorizing
a riverboat to dock in a municipality or approve a relocation
under Section 11.2 only if, prior to the issuance or
re-issuance of the license or approval, the governing body of
the municipality in which the riverboat will dock has by a
majority vote approved the docking of riverboats in the
municipality. The Board may issue or re-issue a license
authorizing a riverboat to dock in areas of a county outside
any municipality or approve a relocation under Section 11.2
only if, prior to the issuance or re-issuance of the license or
approval, the governing body of the county has by a majority
vote approved of the docking of riverboats within such areas.
    (k) An owners licensee may conduct land-based gambling
operations upon approval by the Board and payment of a fee of
$250,000, which shall be deposited into the State Gaming Fund.
    (l) An owners licensee may conduct gaming at a temporary
