Smith, Robinson, Hamilton, D. Smith and Sharpe BILL #: 3288 SUBJECT: County Referendum on Cash Payouts from VGMs SPONSOR(S): Simrill, Kirsh, Meacham, Hodges, Boan, McCraw and Delleney BILL #: 3400 SUBJECT: General Appropriations (Electronic Revenue Data Collection) BILL #: 672 SUBJECT: Annual License SPONSOR(S): Rankin BILL #: 3962 SUBJECT: 50% of Gross Proceeds from Non-VGM Sources SPONSOR(S): Edge, Kelley, Witherspoon, T. Brown, Trotter, Keegan and Barfield BILL #: 3873 SUBJECT: Create SC Gaming Commission, Dockside Gaming, and Other Provisions SPONSOR(S): Scott The one that I find most interesting is bill #3560 which would allow counties to impose fees on VGM's. Guess which bill attracted the largest number of sponsors? You got it! Bill #3560. All the political hoorah we have been hearing for the past few weeks is about how big a piece of the VGM revenue pie the State of South Carolina gets. TKA
