Short Summary
This legal document governs the process of conducting activities regulated by section 12-574, including racing and jai alai events, off-track pari-mutuel betting on racing programs, and the operation of the off-track betting system. When a person or business organization applies for a license, the department forwards a statement to the town clerk specifying the applicant, proposed activity, site, and filing. The town clerk publishes a notice, and the approval of conducting the activity is submitted to the electors of the town through a special or regular election. The disapproval of the conducting of such activity by a majority of those voting on the question prevents the granting of a license. The costs of the referendum are to be paid by the applicant. The document also states that no licensee may conduct racing or jai alai events on Sundays without prior approval from the town’s legislative body. Similarly, no licensee authorized to operate the off-track betting system may conduct off-track pari-mutuel wagering on Sundays without prior approval. However, these requirements do not apply to licensees authorized prior to June 25, 1993. Additionally, the prior approval of the town’s legislative body is required if the department issues a license pursuant to subsection (c) of section 12-574c. No specific penalties are mentioned in this document.
