CONCEPT DRAFT 
SU~ARY 
This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208. 
This bill proposes to provide annual funding for projects at the State's veterans' 
cemeteries by dedicating a certain percentage of any increase in revenue from slot 
machines for this purpose. The fIrst base year for determining whether an increase has 
occurred would be July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009. If revenues in the following year, July 
1, 2009 to June 30, 2010, exceed revenues in the base year, a certain percentage of the 
excess must be dedicated to the veterans' cemeteries. This calculation would be made on 
an ongoing basis, with the previous year being used as the base year. 
Revenues 
transferred to the veterans' cemeteries pursuant to this provision would be capped at 
$50,000 per cemetery per year.
