TO: | Honorable Bill Ratliff, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs |
FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB1736 by Lucio (Relating to the use of electronic or mechanical card-minding devices during a bingo occasion.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend Section 2001.409 of the Occupations Code to remove the 40 percent limitation on the number of individuals attending a bingo occasion that may use an electronic or mechanical card-minding device. The Lottery Commission has indicated it does not anticipate a fiscal impact from the bill.
The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote of both housed of the Legislature. Even thought the bill has as effective date of September 1, 2001, it is assumed the bill would otherwise take effect September 1, 2003
