Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill removes the restriction on the number of seasonal beano or bingo licenses and adds provisions allowing licensed campgrounds to apply for a seasonal beano or bingo license. The increased number of licenses issued and an increase in license fees from $10 to $100 are expected to increase General Fund revenue collected by the Department of Public Safety. The amount of increased revenue is not expected to be significant.  
Any additional costs to the Department of Public Safety associated with rulemaking as a result of the provisions of the bill are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within the existing budgeted resources.
