Provides that an application for an organization license shall be submitted to the Illinois Racing Board and that the Board may grant the license at any of its meetings. Provides the timeline for the application process, including if an application is rejected and the Board advises the applicant of the deficiencies and allows the applicant to resubmit the application. Provides that if the application is found to be in compliance with the Act and the Board's rules, the Board shall then issue an organization license to the applicant (rather than providing that the organization license shall be granted upon application).

Provides that the Board may appoint the Director of Mutuels to serve as the State director for inter-track wagering and simulcast wagering by inter-track wagering licensees and inter-track wagering location licensees. Provides that the pari-mutuel tax imposed at all pari-mutuel wagering facilities and on advance deposit wagering shall be remitted to the Board (rather than the Department of Revenue). Provides that the Board shall distribute contributed funds to a charitable organization on a schedule determined by the Board, based on the charitable organization's estimated expenditures related to the grant (rather than by December 31 of each year). Provides that any funds not expended by the grantee in a grant year shall be distributed to the charitable organization or charitable organizations selected in the next grant year after the funds are recovered. Repeals provisions requiring the Board and the Department of Agriculture to establish a program to conduct drug testing on horses at county fairs. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

15conducted or supervised by it. The admission of any
16unaccompanied minor, other than an employee of the licensee or

19    (f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Act, an
20organization licensee may contract with an entity in another
21state or country to permit any legal wagering entity in
22another state or country to accept wagers solely within such
23other state or country on races conducted by the organization
24licensee in this State. Beginning January 1, 2000, these
25wagers shall not be subject to State taxation. Until January
261, 2000, when the out-of-State entity conducts a pari-mutuel

 

 

HB0685- 9 -LRB102 10403 SMS 15730 b

1pool separate from the organization licensee, a privilege tax
2equal to 7 1/2% of all monies received by the organization
3licensee from entities in other states or countries pursuant
4to such contracts is imposed on the organization licensee, and
5such privilege tax shall be remitted to the Department of
6Revenue within 48 hours of receipt of the moneys from the
7simulcast. When the out-of-State entity conducts a combined
8pari-mutuel pool with the organization licensee, the tax shall
9be 10% of all monies received by the organization licensee
10with 25% of the receipts from this 10% tax to be distributed to
11the county in which the race was conducted.
12    An organization licensee may permit one or more of its
13races to be utilized for pari-mutuel wagering at one or more
14locations in other states and may transmit audio and visual
15signals of races the organization licensee conducts to one or
16more locations outside the State or country and may also
17permit pari-mutuel pools in other states or countries to be
18combined with its gross or net wagering pools or with wagering
19pools established by other states.
20    (g) A host track may accept interstate simulcast wagers on
21horse races conducted in other states or countries and shall
22control the number of signals and types of breeds of racing in
23its simulcast program, subject to the disapproval of the
24Board. The Board may prohibit a simulcast program only if it
25finds that the simulcast program is clearly adverse to the
26integrity of racing. The host track simulcast program shall

 

 

HB0685- 10 -LRB102 10403 SMS 15730 b

1include the signal of live racing of all organization
2licensees. All non-host licensees and advance deposit wagering
3licensees shall carry the signal of and accept wagers on live
4racing of all organization licensees. Advance deposit wagering
5licensees shall not be permitted to accept out-of-state wagers
6on any Illinois signal provided pursuant to this Section
7without the approval and consent of the organization licensee
8providing the signal. For one year after August 15, 2014 (the
9effective date of Public Act 98-968), non-host licensees may
10carry the host track simulcast program and shall accept wagers
11on all races included as part of the simulcast program of horse
12races conducted at race tracks located within North America
13upon which wagering is permitted. For a period of one year
14after August 15, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act
1598-968), on horse races conducted at race tracks located
16outside of North America, non-host licensees may accept wagers
17on all races included as part of the simulcast program upon
18which wagering is permitted. Beginning August 15, 2015 (one
19year after the effective date of Public Act 98-968), non-host
20licensees may carry the host track simulcast program and shall
21accept wagers on all races included as part of the simulcast
22program upon which wagering is permitted. All organization
23licensees shall provide their live signal to all advance
24deposit wagering licensees for a simulcast commission fee not
25to exceed 6% of the advance deposit wagering licensee's
26Illinois handle on the organization licensee's signal without

 

 

HB0685- 11 -LRB102 10403 SMS 15730 b

1prior approval by the Board. The Board may adopt rules under
2which it may permit simulcast commission fees in excess of 6%.
3The Board shall adopt rules limiting the interstate commission
4fees charged to an advance deposit wagering licensee. The
5Board shall adopt rules regarding advance deposit wagering on
6interstate simulcast races that shall reflect, among other
7things, the General Assembly's desire to maximize revenues to
8the State, horsemen purses, and organization licensees.
9However, organization licensees providing live signals
10pursuant to the requirements of this subsection (g) may
11petition the Board to withhold their live signals from an
12advance deposit wagering licensee if the organization licensee
13discovers and the Board finds reputable or credible
14information that the advance deposit wagering licensee is
15under investigation by another state or federal governmental
16agency, the advance deposit wagering licensee's license has
17been suspended in another state, or the advance deposit
18wagering licensee's license is in revocation proceedings in
19another state. The organization licensee's provision of their
20live signal to an advance deposit wagering licensee under this
21subsection (g) pertains to wagers placed from within Illinois.
22Advance deposit wagering licensees may place advance deposit
23wagering terminals at wagering facilities as a convenience to
24customers. The advance deposit wagering licensee shall not
25charge or collect any fee from purses for the placement of the
26advance deposit wagering terminals. The costs and expenses of

 

 

HB0685- 12 -LRB102 10403 SMS 15730 b

1the host track and non-host licensees associated with
2interstate simulcast wagering, other than the interstate
3commission fee, shall be borne by the host track and all
4non-host licensees incurring these costs. The interstate
5commission fee shall not exceed 5% of Illinois handle on the
6interstate simulcast race or races without prior approval of
7the Board. The Board shall promulgate rules under which it may
8permit interstate commission fees in excess of 5%. The
9interstate commission fee and other fees charged by the
10sending racetrack, including, but not limited to, satellite
11decoder fees, shall be uniformly applied to the host track and
12all non-host licensees.
13    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, an
14organization licensee, with the consent of the horsemen
15association representing the largest number of owners,
16trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race horses at
17that organization licensee's racing meeting, may maintain a
18system whereby advance deposit wagering may take place or an
19organization licensee, with the consent of the horsemen
20association representing the largest number of owners,
21trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race horses at
22that organization licensee's racing meeting, may contract with
23another person to carry out a system of advance deposit
24wagering. Such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Only
25with respect to an appeal to the Board that consent for an
26organization licensee that maintains its own advance deposit

 

 

HB0685- 13 -LRB102 10403 SMS 15730 b

1wagering system is being unreasonably withheld, the Board
2shall issue a final order within 30 days after initiation of
3the appeal, and the organization licensee's advance deposit
4wagering system may remain operational during that 30-day
5period. The actions of any organization licensee who conducts
6advance deposit wagering or any person who has a contract with
7an organization licensee to conduct advance deposit wagering
8who conducts advance deposit wagering on or after January 1,
92013 and prior to June 7, 2013 (the effective date of Public
10Act 98-18) taken in reliance on the changes made to this
11subsection (g) by Public Act 98-18 are hereby validated,
12provided payment of all applicable pari-mutuel taxes are
13remitted to the Board. All advance deposit wagers placed from
14within Illinois must be placed through a Board-approved
15advance deposit wagering licensee; no other entity may accept
16an advance deposit wager from a person within Illinois. All
17advance deposit wagering is subject to any rules adopted by
18the Board. The Board may adopt rules necessary to regulate
19advance deposit wagering through the use of emergency
20rulemaking in accordance with Section 5-45 of the Illinois
21Administrative Procedure Act. The General Assembly finds that
22the adoption of rules to regulate advance deposit wagering is
23deemed an emergency and necessary for the public interest,
24safety, and welfare. An advance deposit wagering licensee may
25retain all moneys as agreed to by contract with an
26organization licensee. Any moneys retained by the organization

 

 

HB0685- 14 -LRB102 10403 SMS 15730 b

1licensee from advance deposit wagering, not including moneys
2retained by the advance deposit wagering licensee, shall be
3paid 50% to the organization licensee's purse account and 50%
4to the organization licensee. With the exception of any
5organization licensee that is owned by a publicly traded
6company that is incorporated in a state other than Illinois
7and advance deposit wagering licensees under contract with
8such organization licensees, organization licensees that
9maintain advance deposit wagering systems and advance deposit
10wagering licensees that contract with organization licensees
11shall provide sufficiently detailed monthly accountings to the
12horsemen association representing the largest number of
13owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
14horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting so that
15the horsemen association, as an interested party, can confirm
16the accuracy of the amounts paid to the purse account at the
17horsemen association's affiliated organization licensee from
18advance deposit wagering. If more than one breed races at the
19same race track facility, then the 50% of the moneys to be paid
20to an organization licensee's purse account shall be allocated
21among all organization licensees' purse accounts operating at
22that race track facility proportionately based on the actual
23number of host days that the Board grants to that breed at that
24race track facility in the current calendar year. To the
25extent any fees from advance deposit wagering conducted in
26Illinois for wagers in Illinois or other states have been

 

 

HB0685- 15 -LRB102 10403 SMS 15730 b

1placed in escrow or otherwise withheld from wagers pending a
2determination of the legality of advance deposit wagering, no
3action shall be brought to declare such wagers or the
4disbursement of any fees previously escrowed illegal.
5        (1) Between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. an
6    inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track
7    may supplement the host track simulcast program with
8    additional simulcast races or race programs, provided that
9    between January 1 and the third Friday in February of any
10    year, inclusive, if no live thoroughbred racing is
11    occurring in Illinois during this period, only
12    thoroughbred races may be used for supplemental interstate
13    simulcast purposes. The Board shall withhold approval for
14    a supplemental interstate simulcast only if it finds that
15    the simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of
16    racing. A supplemental interstate simulcast may be
17    transmitted from an inter-track wagering licensee to its
18    affiliated non-host licensees. The interstate commission
19    fee for a supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid
20    by the non-host licensee and its affiliated non-host
21    licensees receiving the simulcast.
22        (2) Between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. an
23    inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track
24    may receive supplemental interstate simulcasts only with
25    the consent of the host track, except when the Board finds
26    that the simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of

 

 

HB0685- 16 -LRB102 10403 SMS 15730 b

1    racing. Consent granted under this paragraph (2) to any
2    inter-track wagering licensee shall be deemed consent to
3    all non-host licensees. The interstate commission fee for
4    the supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid by all
5    participating non-host licensees.
6        (3) Each licensee conducting interstate simulcast
7    wagering may retain, subject to the payment of all
8    applicable taxes and the purses, an amount not to exceed
9    17% of all money wagered. If any licensee conducts the
10    pari-mutuel system wagering on races conducted at
11    racetracks in another state or country, each such race or
12    race program shall be considered a separate racing day for
13    the purpose of determining the daily handle and computing
14    the privilege tax of that daily handle as provided in
15    subsection (a) of Section 27. Until January 1, 2000, from
16    the sums permitted to be retained pursuant to this
17    subsection, each inter-track wagering location licensee
18    shall pay 1% of the pari-mutuel handle wagered on
19    simulcast wagering to the Horse Racing Tax Allocation
20    Fund, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (B) of
21    paragraph (11) of subsection (h) of Section 26 of this
22    Act.
23        (4) A licensee who receives an interstate simulcast
24    may combine its gross or net pools with pools at the
25    sending racetracks pursuant to rules established by the
26    Board. All licensees combining their gross pools at a

 

 

HB0685- 17 -LRB102 10403 SMS 15730 b

1    sending racetrack shall adopt the takeout percentages of
2    the sending racetrack. A licensee may also establish a
3    separate pool and takeout structure for wagering purposes
4    on races conducted at race tracks outside of the State of
5    Illinois. The licensee may permit pari-mutuel wagers
6    placed in other states or countries to be combined with
7    its gross or net wagering pools or other wagering pools.
8        (5) After the payment of the interstate commission fee
9    (except for the interstate commission fee on a
10    supplemental interstate simulcast, which shall be paid by
11    the host track and by each non-host licensee through the
12    host track) and all applicable State and local taxes,
13    except as provided in subsection (g) of Section 27 of this
14    Act, the remainder of moneys retained from simulcast
15    wagering pursuant to this subsection (g), and Section 26.2
16    shall be divided as follows:
17            (A) For interstate simulcast wagers made at a host
18        track, 50% to the host track and 50% to purses at the
