Maddy summaryThis bill requires racetracks that receive a license to operate a gaming facility to continue holding live horse races. Specifically, it mandates that these locations maintain regular race dates in accordance with existing racing laws. The rule applies directly to any racetrack site approved for casino-style gaming operations. Changes made by this legislation will take effect ninety days after it becomes law.
