Board amends village code on video gaming fees, citing state statute changes
Summary
Trustees approved Ordinance 26-31 to align local video‑gaming rules with recent statutory changes, including terminal-fee allocation and limits on application refunds; the ordinance passed on roll call.
The Village of Hampton Hills board moved and approved an amendment to the village code governing video gaming at the April 29 meeting.
Trustee Carmen presented a short memo explaining that recent statutory changes require updates to local code language related to application-fee refunds and the allocation of terminal fees between operators and license establishments. She explained that state law treats operators and license establishments as distinct and that the code needed to reflect the changed statutory language.
Following brief discussion, a motion to adopt Ordinance 26-31 was made and seconded. The board called the roll and recorded aye votes from trustees in attendance; the motion passed.
The ordinance amendment was procedural in nature: it updates local code to match changes in state law and clarifies who may seek refunds and how terminal fees are split between third‑party operators and the licensed establishments that host the machines.
