Gaming: other; expenditures under the internet sports betting fund; modify. Amends secs. 15 & 16 of 2019 PA 149 (MCL 432.415 & 432.416)
This bill modifies how tax revenue from internet sports betting in Michigan is distributed among various state and local funds. It requires that thirty percent of the tax go to the city where the betting operator's casino is located for uses such as hiring street patrol officers, neighborhood development, public safety improvements, and road repairs. The remaining revenue is allocated to the state, with specific mandatory payments to the compulsive gaming prevention fund, a first responder coverage fund, and tribal governments for essential services. Any money left over after these designated expenses must be deposited into the state school aid fund to support public education.
