Potential current biennium revenue increase - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill amends the definition of "fantasy contest" and eliminates the existing exemption for operators with less than $100,000 in annual revenue. All fantasy contest operators will now be required to remit 10% of gross fantasy contest revenues to the state. These changes will result in additional General Fund revenue; the total amount will depend on the number of operators who meet the new requirements and the volume of gaming activity conducted. The additional revenue cannot be determined at this time.
