AN ACT
To repeal section 313.835, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to veterans' commission capital improvements funding.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 313.835, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 313.835, to read as follows:
313.835. All revenue received by the commission from license fees, penalties, administrative fees, reimbursement by any excursion gambling boat operators for services provided by the commission and admission fees authorized pursuant to the provisions of sections 313.800 to 313.850, except that portion of the admission fee, not to exceed one cent, that may be appropriated to the compulsive gamblers fund as provided in section 313.820, shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the "Gaming Commission Fund" which is hereby created for the sole purpose of funding the administrative costs of the commission, subject to appropriation. Moneys deposited into this fund shall not be considered proceeds of gambling operations. Moneys deposited into the gaming commission fund shall be considered state funds pursuant to article IV, section 15 of the Missouri Constitution. All interest received on the gaming commission fund shall be credited to the gaming commission fund. In each fiscal year, total revenues to the gaming commission fund for the preceding fiscal year shall be compared to total expenditures and transfers from the gaming commission fund for the preceding fiscal year. The remaining net proceeds in the gaming commission fund shall be distributed in the following manner:
(1) The first five hundred thousand dollars shall be appropriated on a per capita basis to cities and counties that match the state portion and have demonstrated a need for funding community neighborhood organization programs for the homeless and to deter gang-related violence and crimes;
(2) The remaining net proceeds in the gaming commission fund for fiscal year 1999 and each fiscal year thereafter shall be distributed as follows:
(a) The first four and one-half million dollar portion shall be transferred to the access Missouri financial assistance fund, established pursuant to the provisions of sections 173.1101 to 173.1107, and additional moneys as annually appropriated by the general assembly shall be appropriated to such fund;
(b) The second [three] six million dollar portion shall be transferred to the veterans' commission capital improvement trust fund created in section 42.300;
(c) The third three million dollar portion shall be transferred to the Missouri national guard trust fund created in section 41.214;
(d) Subject to appropriations, one hundred percent of remaining net proceeds in the gaming commission fund except as provided in paragraphs (e) and (f) of this subdivision, and after the appropriations made pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this subdivision, shall be transferred to the early childhood development, education and care fund created in section 161.215;
(e) When the remaining net proceeds, as such term is used pursuant to paragraph (d) of this subdivision, in the gaming commission fund annually exceeds twenty-eight million dollars: one-half million dollars of such proceeds shall be transferred annually, subject to appropriation, to the access Missouri financial assistance fund, established pursuant to the provisions of sections 173.1101 to 173.1107; [three] six million dollars of such proceeds shall be transferred annually, subject to appropriation, to the veterans' commission capital improvement trust fund; and one million dollars of such proceeds shall be transferred annually, subject to appropriation, to the Missouri national guard trust fund created in section 41.214;
(f) Beginning in fiscal year 2011 and each fiscal year thereafter when the funding for early childhood education under paragraph (d) of this subdivision equals the funding level for early childhood education under paragraph (d) of this subdivision in fiscal year 2009, one-half of the next one million two hundred thousand dollars of such proceeds shall be transferred annually, subject to appropriation, to the veterans commission capital improvement trust fund for the purpose of funding veterans' service officer programs identified under subdivision (5) of subsection 1 of section 42.300, and the other half of the one million two hundred thousand dollars shall be transferred annually, subject to appropriation, to the early childhood development, education and care fund created in section 161.215.
