HORSE RACING AND GREYHOUND RACING IN CLASS 1 MUNICIPALITIES. > Terms of operator's license.
Short Summary
This legal document governs the terms and conditions of an operator’s license for horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering or greyhound racing and pari-mutuel wagering. The license is initially issued for a period of 20 years and can be renewed for successive terms of three years each. The commission has the power to revoke the license if the holder fails to comply with the provisions of the chapter or the commission’s rules, regulations, and orders. The license specifies the person to whom it is issued, the activity licensed, the location of the racing facility, and other conditions deemed proper by the commission. The license can be renewed upon application by the holder, subject to the commission’s approval. The commission may deny the renewal only for good cause, such as chronic non-compliance or failure to exploit the economic potential of the license. The document also prohibits the issuance of additional operator’s licenses for horse racing or greyhound racing in the commission’s jurisdiction without the consent of the existing license holders. Furthermore, it allows the commission to enter into contracts with operators to establish restrictive conditions on competing racing events or activities. The document also includes provisions regarding the scheduling of racing programs, the continuation of programs past midnight, advertising restrictions in protected territories, and the requirement of a bond for anticipated indebtedness. Non-compliance with the document’s provisions may result in the revocation of the operator’s license.
