This bill amends section 2-1201 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, concerning the State Racing and Gaming Commission. The primary focus of the amendment is to remove redundant language regarding the appointment and terms of commission members. The bill specifies that the commission will consist of seven members appointed by the Governor, with confirmation required from the Legislature. It also outlines the terms of service for members representing various congressional districts and at-large members, ensuring that no more than four members belong to the same political party and that residency requirements are met.

Additionally, the bill establishes compensation for commission members at one thousand dollars per month, with potential adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. It mandates that members have no personal financial interests in licensed racetracks or gaming operators during their term. The original section 2-1201 is repealed, streamlining the legal framework governing the commission's structure and operations.
