Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill relates to the allocation of required nonprofit distributions of gambling games and sports wagering receipts. Under current law, most licensees are required to distribute at least percent of the licensee’s adjusted gross receipts from gambling games and three-quarters of percent of net receipts from sports wagering to organizations dedicated to civic, public, charitable, patriotic, or religious uses. The bill requires percent of these distributions to be made on a pro rata basis for use in Iowa counties whose residents are known to the licensee to have contributed to the gambling games and sports wagering receipts of the licensee.
