Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Election Code, the Illinois Horse Racing Act of  1975,      
   and  the  Riverboat  Gambling  Act.   Prohibits a candidate, political      
   committee, or public official from accepting anything of value from  a      
   licensee  or  applicant  for licensure under the Illinois Horse Racing      
   Act of 1975 or the Riverboat Gambling Act.  Provides that  an  initial      
   violation  is  a  Class  A misdemeanor and a subsequent violation is a      
   Class 4 felony.  Prohibits certain persons licensed under the Illinois      
   Horse Racing Act of 1975 or the Riverboat  Gambling  Act  from  making      
   certain  political  contributions.  Provides that an initial violation      
   is a Class A misdemeanor and a  subsequent  violation  is  a  Class  4      
   felony.                                                                     
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                              
          The corrections population and fiscal impacts will be minimal.       
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                        
          There will be minimal prison population impact and fiscal            
          impact.                                                              
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Further  amends  the  Election   Code.    Prohibits   candidates,      
   political  committees,  and  public officials from knowingly accepting      
   contributions from applicants for licensure  or  licensees  under  the      
   Illinois  Horse  Racing Act of 1975 or the Riverboat Gambling Act (now      
   the  acceptance  does  not  have  to  be   knowing).   Provides   that      
   contributions  that  (i)  violate  those provisions or (ii) would have      
   violated those provisions if they had been knowingly accepted must  be
