summary
This amendment removes the reference to municipal approval and replaces it with local governing authority approval in reference to the requirements to be met before the Chief of the State Police will consider an application for a tournament game license. This amendment also removes the River Valley Technology Center as a recipient of surplus fees from tournament game licenses. Under this amendment the 20% that would have gone to the River Valley Technology Center will be credited to the General Fund.
