Died when the session ended The 2020 session adjourned on June 14, 2020, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died. What’s a funnel?

What’s in it

AI summary Money collected from taxes on fantasy sports and sports betting will now go into a fund for emergency medical services instead of a different sports wagering fund. Any leftover money currently in the sports wagering fund will also be moved to the emergency medical services fund. This change also closes the old sports wagering fund entirely.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that taxes imposed and collected for internet fantasy sports contests and sports wagering shall be deposited in the emergency medical services fund created in Code section 135.25 and not the sports wagering receipts fund. The bill provides that for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020, any unobligated and unencumbered moneys in the sports wagering receipts fund from the previous fiscal year shall be appropriated to the emergency medical services fund. The bill provides that the sports wagering receipts fund is repealed June 30, 2021.
