A bill for an act relating to the distribution of gambling games and sports wagering receipts in this state for nonprofit purposes, and including applicability provisions.
HF 2089 requires Iowa gambling licensees (like casinos and racetracks) to distribute at least 3% of gambling game receipts and 0.75% of sports wagering net receipts for nonprofit purposes. It mandates that 75% of these funds be distributed proportionally to Iowa counties based on where players reside, using records of each player's county of origin. Licensees must report annual distributions publicly and face civil penalties (up to 5% of required funds) for noncompliance. The bill directly affects gambling operators and ensures local nonprofits in contributing counties receive a share of revenue.
