A bill for an act relating to sports wagering receipts, making appropriations, and including effective date provisions.

HF 1041 revises how funds from the state's sports wagering receipts fund are appropriated. Beginning in fiscal year 2026, it establishes a new order of priority for distributing these funds to various state departments. The bill directs money to the Department of Health and Human Services for behavioral health and problem gambling initiatives, to the Economic Development Authority for regional sports authority districts and a length of service award program, and to the Department of Public Safety for equipment. It also creates a new grant account for the Department of Management to issue grants to eligible local governments for emergency services equipment. Additionally, the bill makes specific appropriations for fiscal year 2025 to community attraction, tourism, destination, and levee improvement funds.
