Tinian delegation introduces House Local Bill 24-07 to appropriate $84,000 from poker fees
Summary
At a special session on the Island of Tinian, the floor leader introduced House Local Bill No. 24-07 to appropriate $84,000 from poker fees collected in the Second Senatorial District; the bill was officially introduced and placed on the record for future action.
At a legislative delegation special session on the Island of Tinian, the floor leader introduced House Local Bill No. 24-07, a proposal to appropriate $84,000 from poker-fee revenues collected in the Second Senatorial District.
The bill was described on the record as “to appropriate $84,000 from the revenues collected from poker fees in the Second Senatorial District and for other purposes,” and the floor leader said the measure was introduced by that office and referenced house communication 24.03. The delegation recorded the introduction; no final vote on the appropriation was taken at the session.
Why it matters: the bill would commit $84,000 of locally collected gaming fees to purposes identified in the local measure. The delegation did not specify programs or departments that would receive the funds during the introduction; the text on the record identified the revenue source (poker fees, Second Senatorial District) and the appropriation amount but did not specify line‑item uses.
What happened next: the bill was formally introduced under the delegation’s introduction-of-local-bills procedure and will appear on future agendas for consideration. The session then proceeded to other items and a short recess was called.
