2. TRIBAL GAMING COMPUTER SYSTEM [LFB Paper 155]
Governor: Provide $879,800 in 1999-00 and $150,900 in 2000-01 for a computer system to process gaming data provided to the state by tribal casino operations. Under the recently completed state-tribal gaming compact amendments, the tribes agree, with some variations, to provide the state with electronic access to certain slot machine accounting data (as an alternative to on-site physical access allowed under the original compacts). The proposed new computer system would be designed for processing this data. The funding would be placed in unallotted reserve, to be released by DOA, pending a final determination of cost.
