An Act To Modernize Gaming Revenue Allocations And Increase Efforts To Prevent Gambling Addiction

LD 793 proposes to update Maine's gaming revenue distribution system and boost funding for gambling addiction services. The bill would modernize how revenue from gambling activities is allocated, specifically increasing the share directed to the Gambling Addiction Prevention and Treatment Fund. This fund supports services like counseling and education programs aimed at preventing and treating gambling disorders. The changes would directly affect state budget allocations for addiction services and the distribution of revenue from Maine's casinos and lottery.
