What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the Department of Transportation to provide up to $125,000 in transportation aid annually to each county containing the headquarters of an American Indian tribe or band and a casino operated by the same tribe or band. The bill also requires DOT to provide up to $125,000 in transportation aid annually to be divided equally among the municipalities in those counties that contain the headquarters of the tribe or band or that border the municipality that contains the headquarters.

Under current law and Indian gaming compacts, Indian tribes make payments to the state to reimburse the state for costs relating to the regulation of certain gaming activities. Revenue from tribal gaming is estimated for each fiscal year based on projected tribal payments to the state. A certain amount of this money is appropriated to be transferred on an annual basis to several appropriation accounts.

Read the full summary

At the end of each fiscal year, unobligated funds from some of the programs that receive tribal gaming revenues revert to the appropriation account to which Indian gaming receipts are credited. This bill transfers to DOT the unobligated funds that were reverted in the prior fiscal year for the purpose of providing the transportation aid required under the bill. The bill also appropriates to DOT up to $2,500,000 of tribal gaming revenue that exceeds the estimated revenue for a fiscal year for the purpose of providing the transportation aid required under the bill.
