A bill to amend 1997 PA 70, entitled “Compulsive gaming prevention act,” by amending section 3 (MCL 432.253), as amended by 2008 PA 282.
The bill outlines the creation and funding of the Compulsive Gaming Prevention Fund within the Department of Treasury. It specifies sources of funding, including appropriations from the state services fee fund, a percentage of state lottery revenue, and a portion of the Michigan agriculture equine industry development fund. The bill allows for up to $1,040,500 annually to be allocated to the Domestic and Sexual Violence Prevention and Treatment Board, with the remaining funds used for treatment, prevention, education, training, research, and evaluation of pathological gambling, as well as funding a toll-free helpline. The state treasurer is responsible for investing the fund, and any remaining money at the fiscal year's end will not revert to the general fund. The Department of Health and Human Services may also establish fees for treating pathological gambling addictions.
