Fiscal Note
Potential revenue increase - Passamaquoddy Tribe and Penobscot Nation
Fiscal Detail and Notes
Under current law 4% of net slot machine income from Oxford Casino is directed to the Penobscot Nation and the Passamaquoddy Tribe unless they receive funds from a slot machine facility or casino other than Oxford Casino or Hollywood Casino, in which case Oxford Casino would retain the 4% of net slot machine income. This amendment allows the Penobscot Nation and the Passamaquoddy Tribe to receive the 4% regardless of whether they receive revenue from casinos other than Oxford or Hollywood. A total of $2,316,634 was distributed to the Penobscot Nation and the Passamaquoddy Tribe from the Oxford Casino in fiscal year 2013-14.
