Fiscal Detail and Notes
This legislation proposes to increase the Oxford and Hollywood Casinos' tax from 46% of net slot income to 47.5% of net slot income and from 39% to 40.5%, respectively, to provide funding for the Maine Veterans' Memorial Cemetery System Care Fund.  This will increase Other Special Revenue Funds revenue by $1,122,906 in fiscal year 2013-14 and $1,512,938 in fiscal year 2014-15.  These amounts are based on the December 2012 revenue forecast.  A corresponding Other Special Revenue Funds allocation would need to be included in the bill to allow the funds to be spent.
