AB805,1,5 An Act to amend 350.12 (4) (a) (intro.) and 350.12 (4) (a) 4.; and to create 20.370 (5) (ek) and 20.505 (8) (hm) 8m. of the statutes; relating to: expenditures from Indian gaming revenue for law enforcement aids for the enforcement of laws regulating snowmobiles and the operation of snowmobiles and making an appropriation.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, Indian gaming receipts are deposited in an appropriation to the department of administration. The bill requires an annual transfer from that appropriation to a new appropriation to the department of natural resources to provide law enforcement aids for enforcing laws that regulate snowmobiles and the operation of snowmobiles.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
