The Gaming Control Appropriation Act of 2025 proposes appropriations from the restricted revenue accounts within the State Gaming Fund, Fantasy Contest Fund, and Video Gaming Fund for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and for the payment of outstanding bills from the previous fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The bill allocates specific amounts to various agencies, including the Attorney General, Department of Revenue, Pennsylvania State Police, and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, for their salaries, wages, and necessary expenses related to gaming operations. Notably, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is set to receive a total of $57,222,000, which includes $7,100,000 from the State Gaming Fund for fees and revenues collected.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions that prohibit the transfer of funds within or between the appropriations in the specified parts, ensuring that the allocated funds are used solely for their intended purposes. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, or immediately, whichever is later.
