A municipality or county may pass an ordinance prohibiting video gaming within the corporate limits of the municipality or unincorporated area of the country, respectively. Video gaming can also be prohibited through a majority vote for the passage of a referendum seeking to ban video gaming in that municipality or county.
Those municipalities and counties which do not prohibit video gaming will be allocated funds monthly by the Department of Revenue. The amount of such funds allocable to each such municipality and county will be in proportion to the tax revenue generated from video gaming within the eligible municipality or county as compared to the tax
revenue generated from video gaming statewide. The funds may be used for any general corporate purpose authorized for that municipality or county.
