An Act making appropriations from the restricted revenue accounts within the State Gaming Fund and from the restricted revenue accounts within the Fantasy Contest Fund and Video Gaming Fund to the Attorney General, the Department of Revenue, the Pennsylvania State Police and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and for the payment of bills incurred and remaining unpaid at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
HB 1340 allocates funds collected from Pennsylvania's gaming activities (including state lotteries, fantasy contests, and video gaming) to four state agencies for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. Specifically, it directs money from the State Gaming Fund, Fantasy Contest Fund, and Video Gaming Fund to the Attorney General, Department of Revenue, Pennsylvania State Police, and Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The bill covers both new spending for the upcoming fiscal year and payments for bills incurred but unpaid as of June 30, 2025. This is a routine budget authorization, not a policy change, and it became law on June 27, 2025 (Act No. 9A of 2025).
