Economic development: other; lawful internet gaming act; amend to reflect elimination of the Michigan strategic fund. Amends sec. 15a of 2019 PA 152 (MCL 432.315a). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0631'25

SB 677 amends Michigan's Lawful Internet Gaming Act to remove a provision that directed 10% of internet gaming operator fees to the Michigan Strategic Fund. This change directly affects online gambling operators who pay these fees, as the allocated funds will no longer go to the Strategic Fund. The bill modifies Section 15a of the 2019 gaming law, eliminating the specific reference to the Strategic Fund in payment allocations. The amendment is contingent on another bill (SB 631) being enacted, but the core change is the removal of the Strategic Fund allocation from gaming revenue distribution.
