Overview
Contains provisions relating to amusements needed to implement the FY 2023 budget.
History
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 5-104, the Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) Division of Racing
establishes and collects a regulatory assessment from each commercial racing permittee,
payable from amounts deducted from pari-mutuel pools by the permittee, from amounts wagered
on live and simulcast races from in-state and out-of-state wagering handled by the permittee. All
monies received from the regulatory assessment are deposited into the Racing Regulation Fund,
which is the primary funding source for the Division of Racing.
While ADG has the authority to set the regulatory assessment rate, the Legislature, for each FY
since 2017, has set the rate at 0.5% of the amounts wagered.
Provisions
1. Continues for FY 2023, as session law, ADG's regulatory assessment of 0.5% on the amounts
wagered on live and simulcast races from in-state and out-of-state wagering handled by a
commercial racing permittee. (Sec. 1)
