| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Illinois Lottery Law is amended by | ||||||
5 | changing Section 21.4 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (20 ILCS 1605/21.4) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 21.4. Joint Special Instant Scratch-off game. | ||||||
8 | (a) The Department shall offer a joint special instant | ||||||
9 | scratch-off game for the benefit of the special causes | ||||||
10 | identified in Sections 21.5, 21.6, 21.7, 21.8, 21.9, 21.10, | ||||||
11 | 21.11, 21.13, 21.15, and 21.16. The operation of the game | ||||||
12 | shall be governed by this Section and any rules adopted by the | ||||||
13 | Department. The game shall commence on January 1, 2024 or as | ||||||
14 | soon thereafter, at the discretion of the Director, as is | ||||||
15 | reasonably practical and shall be discontinued on January 1, | ||||||
16 | 2027. If any provision of this Section is inconsistent with |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any other provision in the Act, then this Section governs. | ||||||
2 | (b) Once the joint special instant scratch-off game is | ||||||
3 | used to fund a special cause, the game will be used to fund the | ||||||
4 | special cause for the remainder of the special causes' | ||||||
5 | existence per the causes' respective Section of this Act. | ||||||
6 | (c) New specialty tickets and causes authorized by this | ||||||
7 | Act shall be funded by the joint special instant scratch-off | ||||||
8 | game. New specialty tickets and causes after February 1, 2024 | ||||||
9 | must have a sunset date. The Department shall be limited to | ||||||
10 | supporting no more than 10 causes in total at any given time. | ||||||
11 | (d) Net revenue received from the sale of the joint | ||||||
12 | special instant scratch-off game for the purposes of this | ||||||
13 | Section shall be divided equally among the special causes the | ||||||
14 | game benefits. At the direction of the Department, the State | ||||||
15 | Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall | ||||||
16 | transfer from the State Lottery Fund the net revenue to the | ||||||
17 | specific fund identified for each special cause in accordance | ||||||
18 | with the special cause's respective Section in this Act. The | ||||||
19 | Department shall transfer the net revenue into the special | ||||||
20 | fund identified for each special cause in accordance with the | ||||||
21 | special cause's respective Section of this Act. As used in | ||||||
22 | this Section, "net revenue" means the total amount for which | ||||||
23 | tickets have been sold less the sum of the amount paid out in | ||||||
24 | prizes and to retailers, and direct and estimated | ||||||
25 | administrative expenses incurred in operation of the ticket. | ||||||

7 | faith affirmative action plan of each applicant to | ||||||
8 | recruit, train and upgrade minority persons, women, and | ||||||
9 | persons with a disability in all employment | ||||||
10 | classifications; the Board shall further consider granting | ||||||
11 | an owners license and giving preference to an applicant | ||||||

13 | applicable local building trades council. | ||||||
14 | (c) Each owners license shall specify the place where the | ||||||
15 | casino shall operate or the riverboat shall operate and dock. | ||||||
16 | (d) Each applicant shall submit with his or her | ||||||

19 | (e) In addition to any licenses authorized under | ||||||
20 | subsection (e-5) of this Section, the Board may issue up to 10 | ||||||
21 | licenses authorizing the holders of such licenses to own | ||||||
22 | riverboats. In the application for an owners license, the | ||||||
23 | applicant shall state the dock at which the riverboat is based | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||

4 | relocate to a new location, in a municipality that (1) borders | ||||||
5 | on the Mississippi River or is within 5 miles of the city | ||||||
6 | limits of a municipality that borders on the Mississippi River | ||||||
7 | and (2) on August 7, 2003, had a riverboat conducting | ||||||
8 | riverboat gambling operations pursuant to a license issued | ||||||
9 | under this Act; one of which shall authorize riverboat | ||||||
10 | gambling from a home dock in the city of East St. Louis; and | ||||||
11 | one of which shall authorize riverboat gambling from a home | ||||||
12 | dock in the City of Alton. One other license shall authorize | ||||||
13 | riverboat gambling on the Illinois River in the City of East | ||||||
14 | Peoria or, with Board approval, shall authorize land-based | ||||||
15 | gambling operations anywhere within the corporate limits of | ||||||
16 | the City of Peoria. The Board shall issue one additional | ||||||
17 | license to become effective not earlier than March 1, 1992, | ||||||
18 | which shall authorize riverboat gambling on the Des Plaines | ||||||
19 | River in Will County. The Board may issue 4 additional | ||||||
20 | licenses to become effective not earlier than March 1, 1992. | ||||||
21 | In determining the water upon which riverboats will operate, | ||||||
22 | the Board shall consider the economic benefit which riverboat | ||||||
23 | gambling confers on the State, and shall seek to assure that | ||||||
24 | all regions of the State share in the economic benefits of | ||||||
25 | riverboat gambling. | ||||||
26 | In granting all licenses, the Board may give favorable |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | consideration to economically depressed areas of the State, to | ||||||
2 | applicants presenting plans which provide for significant | ||||||
3 | economic development over a large geographic area, and to | ||||||
4 | applicants who currently operate non-gambling riverboats in | ||||||
5 | Illinois. The Board shall review all applications for owners | ||||||
6 | licenses, and shall inform each applicant of the Board's | ||||||
7 | decision. The Board may grant an owners license to an | ||||||
8 | applicant that has not submitted the highest license bid, but | ||||||
9 | if it does not select the highest bidder, the Board shall issue | ||||||
10 | a written decision explaining why another applicant was | ||||||
11 | selected and identifying the factors set forth in this Section | ||||||
12 | that favored the winning bidder. The fee for issuance or | ||||||
13 | renewal of a license pursuant to this subsection (e) shall be | ||||||
14 | $250,000. | ||||||
15 | (e-5) In addition to licenses authorized under subsection | ||||||
16 | (e) of this Section: | ||||||
17 | (1) the Board may issue one owners license authorizing | ||||||
18 | the conduct of casino gambling in the City of Chicago; | ||||||
19 | (2) the Board may issue one owners license authorizing | ||||||

24 | the conduct of riverboat gambling in the City of Rockford; | ||||||
25 | (5) the Board may issue one owners license authorizing | ||||||
26 | the conduct of riverboat gambling in a municipality that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | is wholly or partially located in one of the following | ||||||
2 | townships of Cook County: Bloom, Bremen, Calumet, Rich, | ||||||
3 | Thornton, or Worth Township; and | ||||||
4 | (6) the Board may issue one owners license authorizing | ||||||
5 | the conduct of riverboat gambling in the unincorporated | ||||||
6 | area of Williamson County adjacent to the Big Muddy River. | ||||||
7 | Except for the license authorized under paragraph (1), | ||||||
8 | each application for a license pursuant to this subsection | ||||||
9 | (e-5) shall be submitted to the Board no later than 120 days | ||||||
10 | after June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-31). | ||||||
11 | All applications for a license under this subsection (e-5) | ||||||
12 | shall include the nonrefundable application fee and the | ||||||
13 | nonrefundable background investigation fee as provided in | ||||||
14 | subsection (d) of Section 6 of this Act. In the event that an | ||||||
15 | applicant submits an application for a license pursuant to | ||||||
16 | this subsection (e-5) prior to June 28, 2019 (the effective | ||||||
17 | date of Public Act 101-31), such applicant shall submit the | ||||||
18 | nonrefundable application fee and background investigation fee | ||||||
19 | as provided in subsection (d) of Section 6 of this Act no later | ||||||
20 | than 6 months after June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public | ||||||
21 | Act 101-31). | ||||||
22 | The Board shall consider issuing a license pursuant to | ||||||
23 | paragraphs (1) through (6) of this subsection only after the | ||||||
24 | corporate authority of the municipality or the county board of | ||||||
25 | the county in which the riverboat or casino shall be located | ||||||
26 | has certified to the Board the following: |
| |||||||
| |||||||

11 | revenues that will be shared with the municipality or | ||||||
12 | county, if any; | ||||||
13 | (v) that the applicant and the corporate authority or | ||||||
14 | county board have mutually agreed on any zoning, | ||||||
15 | licensing, public health, or other issues that are within | ||||||
16 | the jurisdiction of the municipality or county; | ||||||
17 | (vi) that the corporate authority or county board has | ||||||
18 | passed a resolution or ordinance in support of the | ||||||
19 | riverboat or casino in the municipality or county; | ||||||
20 | (vii) the applicant for a license under paragraph (1) | ||||||
21 | has made a public presentation concerning its casino | ||||||
22 | proposal; and | ||||||
23 | (viii) the applicant for a license under paragraph (1) | ||||||
24 | has prepared a summary of its casino proposal and such | ||||||
25 | summary has been posted on a public website of the | ||||||
26 | municipality or the county. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | At least 7 days before the corporate authority of a | ||||||
2 | municipality or county board of the county submits a | ||||||
3 | certification to the Board concerning items (i) through (viii) | ||||||
4 | of this subsection, it shall hold a public hearing to discuss | ||||||
5 | items (i) through (viii), as well as any other details | ||||||
6 | concerning the proposed riverboat or casino in the | ||||||
7 | municipality or county. The corporate authority or county | ||||||
8 | board must subsequently memorialize the details concerning the | ||||||
9 | proposed riverboat or casino in a resolution that must be | ||||||
10 | adopted by a majority of the corporate authority or county | ||||||
11 | board before any certification is sent to the Board. The Board | ||||||
12 | shall not alter, amend, change, or otherwise interfere with | ||||||
13 | any agreement between the applicant and the corporate | ||||||
14 | authority of the municipality or county board of the county | ||||||
15 | regarding the location of any temporary or permanent facility. | ||||||
16 | In addition, within 10 days after June 28, 2019 (the | ||||||
17 | effective date of Public Act 101-31), the Board, with consent | ||||||
18 | and at the expense of the City of Chicago, shall select and | ||||||
19 | retain the services of a nationally recognized casino gaming | ||||||
20 | feasibility consultant. Within 45 days after June 28, 2019 | ||||||
21 | (the effective date of Public Act 101-31), the consultant | ||||||
22 | shall prepare and deliver to the Board a study concerning the | ||||||
23 | feasibility of, and the ability to finance, a casino in the | ||||||
24 | City of Chicago. The feasibility study shall be delivered to | ||||||
25 | the Mayor of the City of Chicago, the Governor, the President | ||||||
26 | of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Representatives. Ninety days after receipt of the feasibility | ||||||
2 | study, the Board shall make a determination, based on the | ||||||
3 | results of the feasibility study, whether to recommend to the | ||||||
4 | General Assembly that the terms of the license under paragraph | ||||||
5 | (1) of this subsection (e-5) should be modified. The Board may | ||||||
6 | begin accepting applications for the owners license under | ||||||
7 | paragraph (1) of this subsection (e-5) upon the determination | ||||||
8 | to issue such an owners license. | ||||||
9 | In addition, prior to the Board issuing the owners license | ||||||
10 | authorized under paragraph (4) of subsection (e-5), an impact | ||||||
11 | study shall be completed to determine what location in the | ||||||
12 | city will provide the greater impact to the region, including | ||||||
13 | the creation of jobs and the generation of tax revenue. | ||||||
14 | (e-10) The licenses authorized under subsection (e-5) of | ||||||
15 | this Section shall be issued within 12 months after the date | ||||||
16 | the license application is submitted. If the Board does not | ||||||
17 | issue the licenses within that time period, then the Board | ||||||
18 | shall give a written explanation to the applicant as to why it | ||||||
19 | has not reached a determination and when it reasonably expects | ||||||
20 | to make a determination. The fee for the issuance or renewal of | ||||||
21 | a license issued pursuant to this subsection (e-10) shall be | ||||||
22 | $250,000. Additionally, a licensee located outside of Cook | ||||||
23 | County shall pay a minimum initial fee of $17,500 per gaming | ||||||
24 | position, and a licensee located in Cook County shall pay a | ||||||
25 | minimum initial fee of $30,000 per gaming position. The | ||||||
26 | initial fees payable under this subsection (e-10) shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | deposited into the Rebuild Illinois Projects Fund. If at any | ||||||
2 | point after June 1, 2020 there are no pending applications for | ||||||
3 | a license under subsection (e-5) and not all licenses | ||||||
4 | authorized under subsection (e-5) have been issued, then the | ||||||
5 | Board shall reopen the license application process for those | ||||||
6 | licenses authorized under subsection (e-5) that have not been | ||||||
7 | issued. The Board shall follow the licensing process provided | ||||||
8 | in subsection (e-5) with all time frames tied to the last date | ||||||
9 | of a final order issued by the Board under subsection (e-5) | ||||||
10 | rather than the effective date of the amendatory Act. | ||||||
11 | (e-15) Each licensee of a license authorized under | ||||||
12 | subsection (e-5) of this Section shall make a reconciliation | ||||||
13 | payment 3 years after the date the licensee begins operating | ||||||
14 | in an amount equal to 75% of the adjusted gross receipts for | ||||||
15 | the most lucrative 12-month period of operations, minus an | ||||||
16 | amount equal to the initial payment per gaming position paid | ||||||
17 | by the specific licensee. Each licensee shall pay a | ||||||
18 | $15,000,000 reconciliation fee upon issuance of an owners | ||||||
19 | license. If this calculation results in a negative amount, | ||||||
20 | then the licensee is not entitled to any reimbursement of fees | ||||||
21 | previously paid. This reconciliation payment may be made in | ||||||
22 | installments over a period of no more than 6 years. | ||||||
23 | All payments by licensees under this subsection (e-15) | ||||||
24 | shall be deposited into the Rebuild Illinois Projects Fund. | ||||||
25 | (e-20) In addition to any other revocation powers granted | ||||||
26 | to the Board under this Act, the Board may revoke the owners |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | license of a licensee which fails to begin conducting gambling | ||||||
2 | within 15 months of receipt of the Board's approval of the | ||||||
3 | application if the Board determines that license revocation is | ||||||
4 | in the best interests of the State. | ||||||
5 | (f) The first 10 owners licenses issued under this Act | ||||||
6 | shall permit the holder to own up to 2 riverboats and equipment | ||||||
7 | thereon for a period of 3 years after the effective date of the | ||||||
8 | license. Holders of the first 10 owners licenses must pay the | ||||||
9 | annual license fee for each of the 3 years during which they | ||||||
10 | are authorized to own riverboats. | ||||||
11 | (g) Upon the termination, expiration, or revocation of | ||||||
12 | each of the first 10 licenses, which shall be issued for a | ||||||
13 | 3-year period, all licenses are renewable annually upon | ||||||
14 | payment of the fee and a determination by the Board that the | ||||||
15 | licensee continues to meet all of the requirements of this Act | ||||||
16 | and the Board's rules. However, for licenses renewed on or | ||||||
17 | after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd | ||||||
18 | General Assembly, renewal shall be for a period of 4 years. | ||||||
19 | (h) An owners license, except for an owners license issued | ||||||
20 | under subsection (e-5) of this Section, shall entitle the | ||||||
21 | licensee to own up to 2 riverboats. | ||||||
22 | An owners licensee of a casino or riverboat that is | ||||||
23 | located in the City of Chicago pursuant to paragraph (1) of | ||||||
24 | subsection (e-5) of this Section shall limit the number of | ||||||
25 | gaming positions to 4,000 for such owner. An owners licensee | ||||||
26 | authorized under subsection (e) or paragraph (2), (3), (4), or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (5) of subsection (e-5) of this Section shall limit the number | ||||||

16 | amount equal to 75% of the owners licensee's average gross | ||||||
17 | receipts for the most lucrative 12-month period of operations | ||||||
18 | minus an amount equal to the initial fee that the owners | ||||||
19 | licensee paid per additional gaming position. For purposes of | ||||||
20 | this subsection (h-5), "average gross receipts" means (i) the | ||||||
21 | increase in adjusted gross receipts for the most lucrative | ||||||
22 | 12-month period of operations over the adjusted gross receipts | ||||||
23 | for 2019, multiplied by (ii) the percentage derived by | ||||||
24 | dividing the number of additional gaming positions that an | ||||||
25 | owners licensee had obtained by the total number of gaming | ||||||
26 | positions operated by the owners licensee. If this calculation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | results in a negative amount, then the owners licensee is not | ||||||
2 | entitled to any reimbursement of fees previously paid. This | ||||||
3 | reconciliation payment may be made in installments over a | ||||||
4 | period of no more than 6 years. These reconciliation payments | ||||||
5 | shall be deposited into the Rebuild Illinois Projects Fund. | ||||||

8 | the Board necessary for the operation of a riverboat or | ||||||
9 | casino, including a liquor license, a license to prepare and | ||||||
10 | serve food for human consumption, and other necessary | ||||||
11 | licenses. All use, occupation, and excise taxes which apply to | ||||||
12 | the sale of food and beverages in this State and all taxes | ||||||
13 | imposed on the sale or use of tangible personal property apply | ||||||
14 | to such sales aboard the riverboat or in the casino. | ||||||
15 | (j) The Board may issue or re-issue a license authorizing | ||||||
16 | a riverboat to dock in a municipality or approve a relocation | ||||||
17 | under Section 11.2 only if, prior to the issuance or | ||||||
18 | re-issuance of the license or approval, the governing body of | ||||||
19 | the municipality in which the riverboat will dock has by a | ||||||
20 | majority vote approved the docking of riverboats in the | ||||||

22 | authorizing a riverboat to dock in areas of a county outside | ||||||
23 | any municipality or approve a relocation under Section 11.2 | ||||||
24 | only if, prior to the issuance or re-issuance of the license or | ||||||
25 | approval, the governing body of the county has by a majority | ||||||
26 | vote approved of the docking of riverboats within such areas. |

9 | an owners licensee and upon a showing of good cause by the | ||||||
10 | owners licensee : , (i) for a licensee authorized under | ||||||
11 | paragraph (3) of subsection (e-5), the Board shall extend the | ||||||
12 | period during which the licensee may conduct gaming at a | ||||||
13 | temporary facility by up to 30 months; and (ii) for all other | ||||||
14 | licensees, the Board shall extend the period during which the | ||||||

14 | equal to at least one-quarter of the first 12% or one-half | ||||||
15 | of the first 6% of each participating employee's | ||||||
16 | contribution, not to exceed any limitations under federal | ||||||
17 | laws and regulations. | ||||||
18 | (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection | ||||||
19 | (a-5), for 10 calendar years beginning in the year that | ||||||
20 | gambling operations commence either in a temporary or | ||||||
21 | permanent facility at an organization gaming facility located | ||||||
22 | in the City of Collinsville if the facility commences | ||||||
23 | operations within 3 years of the effective date of the changes | ||||||
24 | made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 103rd | ||||||
25 | General Assembly, the privilege tax imposed under this | ||||||
26 | subsection (a-5) on a riverboat or casino conducting gambling |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | operations in the City of East St. Louis shall be reduced, if | ||||||
2 | applicable, by an amount equal to the difference in adjusted | ||||||
3 | gross receipts for the 2022 calendar year less the current | ||||||
4 | year's adjusted gross receipts, unless: | ||||||
5 | (A) the riverboat or casino fails to employ at least | ||||||
6 | 350 people, except that no minimum employment shall be | ||||||
7 | required during periods that the riverboat or casino is | ||||||
8 | closed on orders of State officials for public health | ||||||
9 | emergencies or other emergencies not caused by the | ||||||
10 | riverboat or casino; | ||||||
11 | (B) the riverboat or casino fails to maintain | ||||||

15 | (C) the riverboat or casino fails to submit audited | ||||||
16 | financial statements to the Board prepared by an | ||||||

19 | provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board | ||||||
20 | Accounting Standards Codification under nongovernmental | ||||||
21 | accounting principles generally accepted in the United | ||||||
22 | States. | ||||||
23 | As used in this subsection (a-5), "modified annual | ||||||
24 | adjusted gross receipts" means: | ||||||
25 | (A) for calendar year 2020, the annual adjusted gross | ||||||
26 | receipts for the current year minus the difference between |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | an amount equal to the average annual adjusted gross | ||||||
2 | receipts from a riverboat or casino conducting gambling | ||||||
3 | operations in the City of East St. Louis for 2014, 2015, | ||||||
4 | 2016, 2017, and 2018 and the annual adjusted gross | ||||||
5 | receipts for 2018; | ||||||
6 | (B) for calendar year 2021, the annual adjusted gross | ||||||
7 | receipts for the current year minus the difference between | ||||||
8 | an amount equal to the average annual adjusted gross | ||||||
9 | receipts from a riverboat or casino conducting gambling | ||||||
10 | operations in the City of East St. Louis for 2014, 2015, | ||||||
11 | 2016, 2017, and 2018 and the annual adjusted gross | ||||||
12 | receipts for 2019; and | ||||||
13 | (C) for calendar years 2022 through 2029, the annual | ||||||
14 | adjusted gross receipts for the current year minus the | ||||||
15 | difference between an amount equal to the average annual | ||||||
16 | adjusted gross receipts from a riverboat or casino | ||||||
17 | conducting gambling operations in the City of East St. | ||||||
18 | Louis for 3 years preceding the current year and the | ||||||
19 | annual adjusted gross receipts for the immediately | ||||||
20 | preceding year. | ||||||
21 | (a-6) From June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act | ||||||
22 | 101-31) until June 30, 2023, an owners licensee that conducted | ||||||
23 | gambling operations prior to January 1, 2011 shall receive a | ||||||
24 | dollar-for-dollar credit against the tax imposed under this | ||||||
25 | Section for any renovation or construction costs paid by the | ||||||
26 | owners licensee, but in no event shall the credit exceed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | $2,000,000. | ||||||
2 | Additionally, from June 28, 2019 (the effective date of | ||||||
3 | Public Act 101-31) until December 31, 2024, an owners licensee | ||||||
4 | that (i) is located within 15 miles of the Missouri border, and | ||||||
5 | (ii) has at least 3 riverboats, casinos, or their equivalent | ||||||
6 | within a 45-mile radius, may be authorized to relocate to a new | ||||||
7 | location with the approval of both the unit of local | ||||||
8 | government designated as the home dock and the Board, so long | ||||||
9 | as the new location is within the same unit of local government | ||||||
10 | and no more than 3 miles away from its original location. Such | ||||||
11 | owners licensee shall receive a credit against the tax imposed | ||||||
12 | under this Section equal to 8% of the total project costs, as | ||||||
13 | approved by the Board, for any renovation or construction | ||||||
14 | costs paid by the owners licensee for the construction of the | ||||||
15 | new facility, provided that the new facility is operational by | ||||||
16 | July 1, 2024. In determining whether or not to approve a | ||||||
17 | relocation, the Board must consider the extent to which the | ||||||
18 | relocation will diminish the gaming revenues received by other | ||||||
19 | Illinois gaming facilities. | ||||||
20 | (a-7) Beginning in the initial adjustment year and through | ||||||
21 | the final adjustment year, if the total obligation imposed | ||||||
22 | pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) will result in an | ||||||
23 | owners licensee receiving less after-tax adjusted gross | ||||||
24 | receipts than it received in calendar year 2018, then the | ||||||
25 | total amount of privilege taxes that the owners licensee is | ||||||
26 | required to pay for that calendar year shall be reduced to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | extent necessary so that the after-tax adjusted gross receipts | ||||||
2 | in that calendar year equals the after-tax adjusted gross | ||||||
3 | receipts in calendar year 2018, but the privilege tax | ||||||
4 | reduction shall not exceed the annual adjustment cap. If | ||||||
5 | pursuant to this subsection (a-7), the total obligation | ||||||
6 | imposed pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) shall be | ||||||
7 | reduced, then the owners licensee shall not receive a refund | ||||||
8 | from the State at the end of the subject calendar year but | ||||||
9 | instead shall be able to apply that amount as a credit against | ||||||
10 | any payments it owes to the State in the following calendar | ||||||
11 | year to satisfy its total obligation under either subsection | ||||||
12 | (a-5) or (a-6). The credit for the final adjustment year shall | ||||||
13 | occur in the calendar year following the final adjustment | ||||||
14 | year. | ||||||
15 | If an owners licensee that conducted gambling operations | ||||||
16 | prior to January 1, 2019 expands its riverboat or casino, | ||||||
17 | including, but not limited to, with respect to its gaming | ||||||
18 | floor, additional non-gaming amenities such as restaurants, | ||||||
19 | bars, and hotels and other additional facilities, and incurs | ||||||
20 | construction and other costs related to such expansion from | ||||||
21 | June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-31) until | ||||||
22 | June 28, 2024 (the 5th anniversary of the effective date of | ||||||
23 | Public Act 101-31), then for each $15,000,000 spent for any | ||||||
24 | such construction or other costs related to expansion paid by | ||||||
25 | the owners licensee, the final adjustment year shall be | ||||||
26 | extended by one year and the annual adjustment cap shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | increase by 0.2% of adjusted gross receipts during each | ||||||
2 | calendar year until and including the final adjustment year. | ||||||
3 | No further modifications to the final adjustment year or | ||||||
4 | annual adjustment cap shall be made after $75,000,000 is | ||||||
5 | incurred in construction or other costs related to expansion | ||||||
6 | so that the final adjustment year shall not extend beyond the | ||||||
7 | 9th calendar year after the initial adjustment year, not | ||||||
8 | including the initial adjustment year, and the annual | ||||||
9 | adjustment cap shall not exceed 4% of adjusted gross receipts | ||||||
10 | in a particular calendar year. Construction and other costs | ||||||
11 | related to expansion shall include all project related costs, | ||||||
12 | including, but not limited to, all hard and soft costs, | ||||||
13 | financing costs, on or off-site ground, road or utility work, | ||||||
14 | cost of gaming equipment and all other personal property, | ||||||
15 | initial fees assessed for each incremental gaming position, | ||||||
16 | and the cost of incremental land acquired for such expansion. | ||||||
17 | Soft costs shall include, but not be limited to, legal fees, | ||||||
18 | architect, engineering and design costs, other consultant | ||||||
19 | costs, insurance cost, permitting costs, and pre-opening costs | ||||||

21 | of the following: marketing, real estate taxes, personnel, | ||||||
22 | training, travel and out-of-pocket expenses, supply, | ||||||
23 | inventory, and other costs, and any other project related soft | ||||||
24 | costs. | ||||||
25 | To be eligible for the tax credits in subsection (a-6), | ||||||
26 | all construction contracts shall include a requirement that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the contractor enter into a project labor agreement with the | ||||||
2 | building and construction trades council with geographic | ||||||
3 | jurisdiction of the location of the proposed gaming facility. | ||||||
4 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection | ||||||
5 | (a-7), this subsection (a-7) does not apply to an owners | ||||||
6 | licensee unless such owners licensee spends at least | ||||||
7 | $15,000,000 on construction and other costs related to its | ||||||
8 | expansion, excluding the initial fees assessed for each | ||||||
9 | incremental gaming position. | ||||||

15 | is no longer imposed pursuant to item (i) of the last paragraph | ||||||
16 | of subsection (a-3), then by June 15 of each year, each owners | ||||||
17 | licensee, other than an owners licensee that admitted | ||||||
18 | 1,000,000 persons or fewer in calendar year 2004, must, in | ||||||
19 | addition to the payment of all amounts otherwise due under | ||||||
20 | this Section, pay to the Board a reconciliation payment in the | ||||||
21 | amount, if any, by which the licensed owner's base amount | ||||||

21 | The changes made to this subsection (a-15) by Public Act | ||||||
22 | 94-839 are intended to restate and clarify the intent of | ||||||
23 | Public Act 94-673 with respect to the amount of the payments | ||||||
