Summary
Amends the Video Gaming Act. Provides that the Illinois Gaming Board shall establish a database that contains the following variables: the population of each municipality and unincorporated county area in which video gaming has not been prohibited; the number of licensed establishments within each municipality and unincorporated county area that has been listed by population in the database; and the ratio, as measured in licensed establishments per 1,000 residents, within each municipality and unincorporated county area listed by population in the database. Provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, no new license shall be issued to an applicant for licensure as a licensed establishment if the applicant is located within a municipality or unincorporated county area in which there is more than one licensed establishment per 1,000 residents; and when a municipality or unincorporated county area exists with more than one licensed establishment per 1,000 residents, the Board shall deny a licensed establishment's application to renew its license until the number of licensed establishments within the political subdivision has dropped to a ratio that is equal to, or less than, one licensed establishment per 1,000 residents. Specifies that the provisions shall not infringe upon the right of a licensed establishment to continue to enjoy licensure as a licensed establishment for the duration of the license that has been awarded to the establishment before the effective date of the amendatory Act. Effective immediately.
