                     CHAPTER ................

                             AN ACT

Relating to funding treatment for problem gambling; creating new
  provisions; and amending ORS 461.549.

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:

  SECTION 1. ORS 461.549 is amended to read:
  461.549. (1) The Legislative Assembly finds that emotional and
behavioral problems related to gambling may impose additional
costs on state government and on the state economy, such as
additional mental health expenditures, increased law enforcement
costs and lost economic output. The use of a portion of the net
receipts from video lottery games to pay the costs of preventing
and treating emotional and behavioral problems related to
gambling promotes the creation of jobs and this state's economic
development by offsetting and treating the negative economic
consequences of such behavior.
    { - (2) In each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal
quarter beginning July 1, 2001, there is allocated from the
Administrative Services Economic Development Fund to the Problem
Gambling Treatment Fund established by ORS 413.522 an amount of
not less than one percent of the moneys transferred from the
State Lottery Fund to the Administrative Services Economic
Development Fund during that fiscal quarter. - }
   { +  (2) In each fiscal quarter of a biennium, commencing with
the fifth fiscal quarter of the biennium beginning July 1, 2013,
there is allocated from the Administrative Services Economic
Development Fund to the Problem Gambling Treatment Fund
established by ORS 413.522 an amount equal to the greater of:
  (a) One percent of the moneys transferred from the Oregon State
Lottery Fund to the Administrative Services Economic Development
Fund in that fiscal quarter; or
  (b) One percent of the moneys transferred from the Oregon State
Lottery Fund to the Administrative Services Economic Development
Fund during the same fiscal quarter of the biennium beginning
July 1, 2011. + }
  SECTION 2.  { + The amendments to ORS 461.549 by section 1 of
this 2013 Act apply to fiscal quarters beginning on or after July
1, 2014. + }
                         ----------
