Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2023 - 2024 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 10, 2023 02:31 PM
From: Senator Daniel Laughlin
To: All Senate members
Subject: 50/50 Split for Club Licensees under Local Option Small Games of Chance Act
 
In the near future, I plan to re-introduce Senate Bill 643 of last session to amend the Local Option Small Games of Chance Act. This legislation will allow club licensees to retain 50 percent of their proceeds from small games of chance while maintaining charitable donation requirements for the other 50 percent.

Originally, clubs were only allowed to keep 30 percent of their proceeds. In 2013, that number was increased to 40 percent.
 
However, with the expanding gaming landscape in Pennsylvania, the purpose of this legislation is to allow our club licensees the opportunity to remain viable competitors. The intention is not to take away from the communities they serve but rather to give the club licensees the tools to thrive so they are able to continue helping their communities through charitable giving.
 
Please join me in supporting this important piece of legislation.
 


Introduced as SB430
