SUMMARY
This amendment is the minority report of the committee. Unlike the bill, which directs that 10% of the net income from historical instant racing and keno be remitted to the State and credited to the Department of Education for essential programs and services for kindergarten to grade 12, the amendment directs that this 10% of the net income from historical instant racing and keno be deposited to the General Fund.
This amendment also adds an appropriations and allocations section.
