What’s in it

This bill relates to authorizations to conduct advance deposit wagering.9D (alternative simulcasting licensure —— horse and dog races) to conduct advance deposit wagering. The bill prohibits an advance deposit wager from being placed via a telephone-type device or other electronic means from a location within five miles of a licensed racetrack enclosure unless the advance deposit wagering operator has entered into an agreement with the racetrack licensee to authorize such wagers. The bill strikes a requirement that the commission authorize the licensee of the horse racetrack located in Polk county to conduct advance deposit wagering.
