---

Completed Legislative Action
Spectrum: Partisan Bill (Democrat 3-0)
Status: Passed on April 22 2010 - 100% progression
Action: 2010-06-11 - Effective Date

The purpose of this bill is to require all of an established $11 million Racetrack Video Lottery Fund to be transferred into the existing West Virginia Racing Commission Special Account - Unredeemed Pari-Mutuel Tickets account to be used to pay certain current and unpaid debt payments. The bill also provides that when those debt obligations have been fully met all monies deposited in the Video Lottery Fund will be used for the Workers' Compensation debt service until that debt is retired. The bill removes a provision concerning the Thoroughbred Development Fund. The bill eliminates a $200,000 annual payment for providing health and disability benefits to jockeys and their dependents and also eliminates an obsolete provision concerning a special trust fund. The bill further provides that the Racing Commission may use current funds to pay previously incurred obligations. Additionally, the bill requires certain obligations be paid on a monthly basis and that certain receipts from all thoroughbred racetracks be divided on a pro rata basis between those racetracks. The bill modifies a current treasury account to include funds for greyhound adoption, spaying and neutering.
