Such organizations are required to report their adjusted gross receipts to the Department and are subject to application, audit, and administration fees based on their adjusted gross receipts. The bill provides that application fees shall be paid to the Department by the qualified organization and that audit fees may be paid to the Department either by the qualified organization or the electronic gaming manufacturer that provides electronic gaming devices to such organization.
