Provides relative to the Video Draw Poker Device Fund. (gov sig)
Current law provides for the distribution of monies in the Video Draw Poker Device Fund. Pursuant to 27:437(C)(1), 25% of the funds are
distributed as follows: (1) $5.4 M to the district attorneys; (2) to the governing authorities of municipalities and parishes in which video
poker devices are operated, and to the sheriff of each such parish; and (3) an amount allocated to the Department of Public Safety &
Corrections and to the Department of Justice pursuant to legislative appropriation. Any unexpended or unencumbered monies remaining
shall revert to the state general fund.
Proposed law retains present law, but amends the provisions related to the reversion of funds to the state general fund. Provides any
unexpended and unencumbered at the end of the fiscal year after the 25% allocation is made pursuant to current law shall not revert to
the state general fund but shall be distributed in accordance with current law. Proposed law also provides that any remaining portion of
the 75% of the unexpended or unencumbered monies in the fund at the end of the fiscal year shall revert to the state general fund.
