RIVERBOAT GAMBLE-DUAL LICENSES                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Riverboat Gambling Act.  Permits riverboat gambling on      
   permanently moored barges.  Allows  a  licensee  that  receives  Board      
   permission  to  operate  a secondary home dock location and move up to      
   two-thirds of its gaming positions to that location  if  the  licensee      
   meets  certain  requirements.   Deletes provision that allows gambling      
   excursion cruises  only  when  the  navigable  stream  for  which  the      
   riverboat is licensed is navigable. Changes the license renewal period      
   to 4 years.  Effective immediately.

          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE                                           
          In the opinion of DCCA, HB213 fails to create a State mandate.       
          HOME RULE NOTE                                                       
          HB213 does not preempt home rule authority.                          
          FISCAL NOTE (Ill. Gaming Board)                                      
          Agency operating expenses, for 3 new sites, would increase by        
          about 25% (about $3 million annually).                               
          STATE DEBT IMPACT NOTE                                               
          HB 607 would not impact State Debt.                                  
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1                                   
          No change from previous mandates note.                               
          HOME RULE NOTE, H-AM 1                                               
          No change from previous home rule note.                              
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Ill. Gaming Bd.)                                
          A graduated tax proposal could generate an estimated additional      
          $48.8 million in revenues for the State and $0 for the locals.
