❌ HB286
Limit purposes for which internet gaming tax revenue may be used
Current Status: In House Committee (Finance)
Summary
The bill restricts the use of tax revenue from legal internet gaming in Ohio to funding school districts, publicly funded child care, and programs addressing problem gaming. It applies only if the General Assembly enacts legislation that legalizes internet gaming.
Rationale
The bill imposes restrictions on the use of tax revenue from internet gaming, which conflicts with Libertarian principles advocating for minimal government intervention and the free market. It limits individual choice in the allocation of funds generated from a voluntary activity.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government control over revenue allocation
- Restricts individual freedom in financial decisions
- Potentially undermines the free market by imposing restrictions
