This bill is an initiated bill which cannot be amended to include any appropriations or allocations. If the bill is either 
approved by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor or approved by the voters in a statewide election in 
November, the 123rd Legislature will need to include the necessary appropriations and allocations shown above in 
seperate legislation. 
Presented below is a detailed estimate of revenues and subsequent distribution that may be generated assuming the 
approval of the host municipal governance body and the successful licensure of one additional commercial racing 
track and one additional licensed slot machine operator with a total of 500 slot machines on-line in April 2009. This 
estimate factors in the net effect on the currently licensed facility. This estimate also provides detail on the various 
General Fund appropriations and Other Special Revenue Funds allocations that will necessary to implement the 
provisions of this bill.
