Video Lottery Terminals - Distribution of Local Impact Grants - Allocation for Fair Hill Purses

Summary

The bill changes Maryland's video lottery terminal grant formula by earmarking $200,000 of the local impact grants that go to Cecil County for purses at races held in the Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area for fiscal years 2027 through 2029. It also confirms that all grant money from video lottery facilities in Allegany, Cecil, and Worcester counties is sent to the local jurisdictions where those facilities are located. The change is intended to support local racing while keeping grant revenues within the counties that generate them.
