Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment will make the provisions of the bill contingent upon approval by the voters at a referendum. Because this vote will not occur until November 2024 and the Gambling Control Unit will delay rulemaking until after the referendum, appropriations and allocations are removed from fiscal year 2024-25 and any revenue impact will be delayed until fiscal year 2025-2026, contingent on the referendum results.
