AI Summary

I appreciate your request, but I notice a discrepancy: you've asked me to summarize HB1277 about wagering taxes, but the document provided is House Bill 1405 about attorney general jurisdiction.

Here is a summary of the actual document provided (HB1405):

  • Grants the attorney general concurrent jurisdiction with prosecuting attorneys to prosecute homicides committed by members of unlawful assemblies.
  • Allows attorney general concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute those who assist criminals involved in unlawful assembly homicides.
  • Grants attorney general concurrent jurisdiction over prosecutions of sheriffs accused of offenses involving failure to protect prisoners in custody.
  • Provides attorney general concurrent jurisdiction for violations of constitutional convention delegate election laws.
  • Permits attorney general to prosecute public officers and public servants for official misconduct, bribery, ghost employment, conflict of interest, profiteering from public service, and state examiner-related offenses upon request of the prosecuting attorney or declination of prosecution.
  • Becomes effective July 1, 2015.

Legislative Description

Wagering taxes. Provides that a riverboat located in a historic hotel district is subject to a wagering tax of 5% of the riverboat's adjusted gross receipts rather than the graduated tax imposed under current law.
