Summary

Amends the Riverboat Gambling Act. Provides that a first conviction for driving under the influence under the Illinois Vehicle Code is not considered a subsequent conviction under certain licensure provisions of the Act concerning disqualifying criminal convictions if the conviction was more than 10 years prior to his or her application for a license to operate a licensed establishment, licensed truck stop establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, or licensed veterans establishment under the Video Gaming Act.

Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 655 has removed a provision regarding disqualifying criminal convictions. Specifically, it no longer states that a first DUI conviction is not disqualifying if it occurred more than 10 years before applying for certain gambling licenses. This change could impact individuals with a history of DUI who are seeking to operate licensed gambling establishments, potentially making it harder for them to obtain a license.
