Modifies provisions relating to the Missouri Gaming Commission
HB 3533 modifies the Missouri Gaming Commission's authority over excursion gambling boats, directly affecting boat operators, licensees, and patrons. The bill grants the Commission new powers to license operators, set standards for boat operations (including allowing gambling on boats serving alcohol), require cashless wagering systems, and establish data privacy protections for patrons. It also mandates affirmative action plans for minority employment and procurement in the gambling industry, and creates an admission fee structure distributing funds to a historic preservation fund. The bill focuses on operational regulations and licensing procedures rather than altering gambling game types or betting limits.
