This bill amends the allocation of revenue from video lottery terminals (VLTs) in New Hampshire by increasing the percentage of gross video lottery revenue that must be distributed to support addiction services. Specifically, it changes the required distribution from 0.25 percent to 1 percent of gross video lottery revenue. Additionally, the bill updates the designation of the fund receiving these allocations from the "governor's commission on addiction, treatment, and prevention" to the "addiction, treatment, and prevention fund" established in RSA 176-A:1.

The bill aims to enhance funding for problem gaming services by reallocating a larger share of gaming revenue to address addiction treatment and prevention efforts. It is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, reflecting a legislative commitment to improving support for individuals affected by gambling addiction in the state.
