HB 3119 - DIGEST

Declares that in establishing a maximum wager, money, or other thing of value that may be wagered or contributed by a player in any gambling activities subject to this act, it is the intent that any such lottery or gambling activity involving a wager or contribution in excess of the maximum authorized amount is prohibited.

Provides that any increase in the maximum authorized wager amount after the effective date of this act thus constitutes the elimination of that prohibition and, under Article II, section 24 of the state Constitution, requires an affirmative vote of sixty percent of the members of each house of the legislature.
