HB 1101: Amusements and sports; legislative referendum; state-tribal gaming; exception; Gaming Compact Supplement; sports betting; term; funds; codification; ballot title; filing.

HB 1101 would allow Oklahoma racetracks with live horse racing to operate more gaming machines (up to 650 in counties over 600,000 population, 250 in smaller counties) under existing tribal-state gaming agreements. It requires voter approval via referendum and codifies current practices for regulating these machines, tying gaming to racetrack locations where live racing occurs. The bill prohibits local governments from restricting this activity through zoning laws and specifies that gaming must align with tribal compacts under federal law. It does not create new gambling but formalizes existing tribal-state gaming arrangements at racetracks.
