2the statutes; relating to: the elimination of the state lottery and pari-mutuel
3wagering, prohibiting new claims under the farmland relief tax credit,
4providing a penalty and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the state conducts the state lottery and licenses and
regulates pari-mutuel wagering. This bill eliminates the state lottery and the
lottery credit and bans state-regulated pari-mutuel wagering beginning on January
1, 1999. As a result of the elimination of the state lottery and the banning of
state-regulated pari-mutuel wagering, current law penalties that apply to the
unauthorized playing of the lottery and wagering will apply to conduct that is
currently authorized under the state lottery and state-regulated pari-mutuel
wagering.
The farmland tax relief credit is a refundable income and franchise tax credit
that is based on property taxes accrued on farmland and gross farm profits. Under
this bill, no claims for the farmland tax relief credit may be made for taxable years
beginning after December 31, 1998.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
