Explanation

(This amendment provides $1.0 million each year in nongeneral fund appropriation as a placeholder amendment for administrative costs to the Virginia Lottery resulting from House Bill 161, which legalizes internet gaming. Upon enrolling, additional amendments will be provided as needed to reflect other impacts of the bill, to include potential costs resulting from the bill's creation of criminal penalties, and any assumed revenue impacts from the bill--both new revenues generated and any estimated adverse impacts on revenue streams generated from other gaming activities. Accordingly, this is a placeholder amendment until all state impacts are known.)
