SB 83 establishes a fund to reimburse municipalities for property tax revenue lost due to exemptions for elderly, disabled, blind, and deaf residents. The bill authorizes video lottery terminals (VLTs) at facilities licensed for charitable gaming, requiring them to operate with an 88% minimum payback rate and distributing 40% of VLT revenue to charitable organizations (35%), a special fund (25%), the reimbursement fund (25%), and retirement benefits (50%). It also creates a voluntary statewide self-exclusion database to help people with problem gambling avoid gambling venues. The bill renames the state lottery commission to the "New Hampshire lottery and gaming commission" and sets a July 1, 2025 effective date.
