This amendment adds detailed rulemaking requirements for simulcasting permits, including minimum live racing day thresholds and restrictions on historic horse racing terminal operations.
- Adds reference to new subsection (m) in the commission's rulemaking authority for simulcasting permits. (Page 10, line 15)
- Establishes that the commission must adopt rules requiring at least 16 live horse racing event days on the original permitted track to qualify for a simulcasting permit, with consideration for fair involvement of affected parties and economic viability. (Page 12, after line 2 (subsection (m)(i)))
- Prohibits permitholders from operating additional terminals at any location if they have unused terminals elsewhere under a simulcasting permit. (Page 12, lines 25-29 (subsection (m)(ii)(A)))
- Caps the number of historic horse racing terminals a permitholder may operate statewide starting July 1, 2028: 1,200 terminals for tracks that are 7/8 mile or longer, and 1,000 terminals for smaller tracks, with terminals only counted at tracks where the permitholder conducts required live racing days. (Page 12-13, lines 31-42 (subsection (m)(ii)(B)))
