AN ACT
To repeal section 313.813, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to excursion gambling boats.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 313.813, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 313.813, to read as follows:
313.813. 1. The commission may promulgate rules allowing a person that is a problem gambler to voluntarily exclude him/herself from an excursion gambling boat. Any person that has been self-excluded is guilty of trespassing in the first degree pursuant to section 569.140, RSMo, if such person enters an excursion gambling boat.
2. A person who engages in gambling on an excursion gambling boat while such person is self-excluded pursuant to subsection 1 of this section shall not be entitled to ownership of any winnings from an electronic gaming device jackpot or table game jackpot in any amount required to be reported by the excursion gambling boat licensee for federal or state individual income tax purposes. For purposes of this section, the winnings described in the preceding sentence shall be referred to as unowned winnings. An excursion gambling boat licensee shall not knowingly pay any unowned winnings to any person. The excursion gambling boat shall submit all unowned winnings to the state to be credited to the compulsive gamblers fund. All unowned winnings submitted to the state pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed winnings paid to wagerers within the meaning of section 313.800.
