This bill amends the appropriations for the Gamblers Assistance Program under the Department of Revenue for the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. It appropriates $0 from the Compulsive Gamblers Assistance Fund for FY2025-26 and $3,217,273 for FY2026-27 to the State Racing and Gaming Commission. The bill also establishes a salary limit of $0 for FY2025-26 and $154,334 for FY2026-27, while eliminating previous appropriations of $1,150,000 for state aid in both fiscal years.
Additionally, the bill makes several changes to the existing legal language, including the deletion of previous cash fund amounts and program totals, which were $3,208,877 for FY2025-26 and $3,217,273 for FY2026-27. The original section of Laws 2025, LB261, is repealed, and the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
