SUMMARY 
or renumbering any 
number 
to 
read 
This amendment is the minority report of the committee. This 
amendment adopts most of the provisions of the majority amendment 
wi th some exceptions. 
This amendment requires that membership 
qualifications of 
the 
Department 
of Public 
Safety, 
Gambling 
Control Board as proposed in the bill include experience in the 
harness racing industry. 
It provides for municipal approval for 
the renewal of a slot machine license. 
Municipal decisions would 
be 
subject 
to 
appeal 
to 
the 
Gambling 
Control 
Board. 
The 
requirement that nongambling service vendors and their employees 
be licensed by the Gambling Control Board is removed in this 
amendment. 
The amendment also strengthens the on-line monitoring 
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT 
~~. 
~~ 
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT .. 6· to H.P. 1342, L.D. 1820 
of slot machines required in the bill by specifying that slot 
machines be controlled by a central site computer system operated 
by the State. 
The amendment requires as a condition of the slot 
machine 
operator 
license 
that 
the 
operator 
enter 
into 
an 
agreement with the host municipality that provides for revenue 
sharing 
and 
a 
security plan for 
the 
licensed slot machine 
facility. 
The amendment establishes initial application fees for 
slot machine operators 
and distributors of $200,000 
and for 
registration of slot machines of $100. 
Renewal fees would be 
determined by the board to cover costs of administration of 
licensing and registrations. 
For slot machine operators, there 
would be an additional renewal fee of $75,000, $25,000 of which 
would go directly to the host municipality, with the remainder 
going to the General Fund. 
The amendment also requires that the 
Gambling Control Board take final action on applications for slot 
machine licenses no later than September 30, 2004. 
This amendment differs from the majority report in that it 
requires that commercial tracks conduct a minimum number of race 
dates 
as 
a 
condition of maintaining the operation of slot 
machines. 
It removes the provision of the bill that requires 
gambling services vendor employees to be licensed by the Gambling 
Control Board and instead authorizes the board to issue work 
permits to employees per rules adopted by the board. 
It also 
reduces the statewide limit on the number of slot machines to be 
licensed in the State as proposed in the bill from 3,000 to 
1,500. 
Finally, the amendment changes the allocation of gross 
slot machine income so that the operator retains 63% and the 
remaining 37% is distributed as follows: 
l. 
expenses 
services; 
Four percent 
of the board, 
to the General Fund for administrative

This bill effectively amends certain provisions ofIB 2003, c.l (LD 1371) which authorized slot machines to be located 
at commercial horse racing tracks. The revenue impacts of IB 2003, c.l were factored into budgeted revenue estimates. 
The revenue impacts identified above for the General Fund and the Fund for a Healthy Maine reflect the net 
(incremental) revenue impacts of amending the Inititiated Bill. However, because the Initiated Bill could not be 
amended by the Legislature to include the necessary appropriations and allocations it needed, the appropriations and 
allocations section included in this bill reflects the full costs of enacting this bill (LD 1820).

This bill is different from the initiated bill in several respects: 
First, because of the delay in implementation since the initiated bill became law (effective date of January 4,2004), the 
fiscal impacts for fiscal year 2003-04 identified in the initiated bill are no longer applicable. 
Second, this bill replaces the State Harness Racing Commission as the agency charged with the regulatory responsibility 
for overseeing the use of slot machines at race tracks with a new Gambling Control Board which will be part of the 
Department of Public Safety. The use of a different regulatory agency results in different enforcement costs. 
Third, the distribution of proceeds from gross slot income has been significantly changed, including a reduction in the 
distribution for the owner of the racetrack and new distributions for certain functions of state and municipal 
government. A number of distributions to state government remain unchanged. 
Finally, the method by which the regulatory costs of state government are paid has been changed. The Initiated Bill 
reserved 1 % of gross slot income as Other Special Revenue for the costs that would be incurred by Maine State 
Government to provide administrative and regulatory oversight over the operation of the authorized slot machine 
facilities. Because this was not adequate to cover the costs of state government, the fiscal note for the Initiated Bill 
reflected a significant General Fund cost. The provisions of this bill, as amended, specify that 4% of gross slot income 
is to be deposited into the General Fund. As in the initiated bill, the percentage of gross slot income that has been 
reserved for regulatory and enforcement purposes in this bill is not adequate to cover those costs and will have to be 
supplemented by additional General Fund resources.
