155	155	1 licensee in this State. Beginning January 1, 2000, these
156	156	2 wagers shall not be subject to State taxation. Until January
157	157	3 1, 2000, when the out-of-State entity conducts a pari-mutuel
158	158	4 pool separate from the organization licensee, a privilege tax
159	159	5 equal to 7 1/2% of all monies received by the organization
160	160	6 licensee from entities in other states or countries pursuant
161	161	7 to such contracts is imposed on the organization licensee, and
162	162	8 such privilege tax shall be remitted to the Department of
163	163	9 Revenue within 48 hours of receipt of the moneys from the
164	164	10 simulcast. When the out-of-State entity conducts a combined
165	165	11 pari-mutuel pool with the organization licensee, the tax shall
166	166	12 be 10% of all monies received by the organization licensee
167	167	13 with 25% of the receipts from this 10% tax to be distributed to
168	168	14 the county in which the race was conducted.
169	169	15 An organization licensee may permit one or more of its
170	170	16 races to be utilized for pari-mutuel wagering at one or more
171	171	17 locations in other states and may transmit audio and visual
172	172	18 signals of races the organization licensee conducts to one or
173	173	19 more locations outside the State or country and may also
174	174	20 permit pari-mutuel pools in other states or countries to be
175	175	21 combined with its gross or net wagering pools or with wagering
176	176	22 pools established by other states.
177	177	23 (g) A host track may accept interstate simulcast wagers on
178	178	24 horse races conducted in other states or countries and shall
179	179	25 control the number of signals and types of breeds of racing in
180	180	26 its simulcast program, subject to the disapproval of the

191	191	1 Board. The Board may prohibit a simulcast program only if it
192	192	2 finds that the simulcast program is clearly adverse to the
193	193	3 integrity of racing. The host track simulcast program shall
194	194	4 include the signal of live racing of all organization
195	195	5 licensees. All non-host licensees and advance deposit wagering
196	196	6 licensees shall carry the signal of and accept wagers on live
197	197	7 racing of all organization licensees. Advance deposit wagering
198	198	8 licensees shall not be permitted to accept out-of-state wagers
199	199	9 on any Illinois signal provided pursuant to this Section
200	200	10 without the approval and consent of the organization licensee
201	201	11 providing the signal. For one year after August 15, 2014 (the
202	202	12 effective date of Public Act 98-968), non-host licensees may
203	203	13 carry the host track simulcast program and shall accept wagers
204	204	14 on all races included as part of the simulcast program of horse
205	205	15 races conducted at race tracks located within North America
206	206	16 upon which wagering is permitted. For a period of one year
207	207	17 after August 15, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act
208	208	18 98-968), on horse races conducted at race tracks located
209	209	19 outside of North America, non-host licensees may accept wagers
210	210	20 on all races included as part of the simulcast program upon
211	211	21 which wagering is permitted. Beginning August 15, 2015 (one
212	212	22 year after the effective date of Public Act 98-968), non-host
213	213	23 licensees may carry the host track simulcast program and shall
214	214	24 accept wagers on all races included as part of the simulcast
215	215	25 program upon which wagering is permitted. All organization

228	228	2 to exceed 6% of the advance deposit wagering licensee's
229	229	3 Illinois handle on the organization licensee's signal without
230	230	4 prior approval by the Board. The Board may adopt rules under
231	231	5 which it may permit simulcast commission fees in excess of 6%.
232	232	6 The Board shall adopt rules limiting the interstate commission
233	233	7 fees charged to an advance deposit wagering licensee. The
234	234	8 Board shall adopt rules regarding advance deposit wagering on
235	235	9 interstate simulcast races that shall reflect, among other
236	236	10 things, the General Assembly's desire to maximize revenues to
237	237	11 the State, horsemen purses, and organization licensees.
238	238	12 However, organization licensees providing live signals
239	239	13 pursuant to the requirements of this subsection (g) may
240	240	14 petition the Board to withhold their live signals from an
241	241	15 advance deposit wagering licensee if the organization licensee
242	242	16 discovers and the Board finds reputable or credible
243	243	17 information that the advance deposit wagering licensee is
244	244	18 under investigation by another state or federal governmental
245	245	19 agency, the advance deposit wagering licensee's license has
246	246	20 been suspended in another state, or the advance deposit
247	247	21 wagering licensee's license is in revocation proceedings in
248	248	22 another state. The organization licensee's provision of their
249	249	23 live signal to an advance deposit wagering licensee under this
250	250	24 subsection (g) pertains to wagers placed from within Illinois.
251	251	25 Advance deposit wagering licensees may place advance deposit
252	252	26 wagering terminals at wagering facilities as a convenience to

264	264	2 charge or collect any fee from purses for the placement of the
265	265	3 advance deposit wagering terminals. The costs and expenses of
266	266	4 the host track and non-host licensees associated with
267	267	5 interstate simulcast wagering, other than the interstate

269	269	7 non-host licensees incurring these costs. The interstate
270	270	8 commission fee shall not exceed 5% of Illinois handle on the
271	271	9 interstate simulcast race or races without prior approval of
272	272	10 the Board. The Board shall promulgate rules under which it may
273	273	11 permit interstate commission fees in excess of 5%. The
274	274	12 interstate commission fee and other fees charged by the
275	275	13 sending racetrack, including, but not limited to, satellite
276	276	14 decoder fees, shall be uniformly applied to the host track and
277	277	15 all non-host licensees.
278	278	16 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, an
279	279	17 organization licensee, with the consent of the horsemen
280	280	18 association representing the largest number of owners,
281	281	19 trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race horses at
282	282	20 that organization licensee's racing meeting, may maintain a
283	283	21 system whereby advance deposit wagering may take place or an
284	284	22 organization licensee, with the consent of the horsemen
285	285	23 association representing the largest number of owners,
286	286	24 trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race horses at
287	287	25 that organization licensee's racing meeting, may contract with

300	300	2 with respect to an appeal to the Board that consent for an
301	301	3 organization licensee that maintains its own advance deposit
302	302	4 wagering system is being unreasonably withheld, the Board
303	303	5 shall issue a final order within 30 days after initiation of
304	304	6 the appeal, and the organization licensee's advance deposit
305	305	7 wagering system may remain operational during that 30-day
306	306	8 period. The actions of any organization licensee who conducts
307	307	9 advance deposit wagering or any person who has a contract with

309	309	11 who conducts advance deposit wagering on or after January 1,
310	310	12 2013 and prior to June 7, 2013 (the effective date of Public
311	311	13 Act 98-18) taken in reliance on the changes made to this
312	312	14 subsection (g) by Public Act 98-18 are hereby validated,
313	313	15 provided payment of all applicable pari-mutuel taxes are
314	314	16 remitted to the Board. All advance deposit wagers placed from
315	315	17 within Illinois must be placed through a Board-approved
316	316	18 advance deposit wagering licensee; no other entity may accept
317	317	19 an advance deposit wager from a person within Illinois. All
318	318	20 advance deposit wagering is subject to any rules adopted by
319	319	21 the Board. The Board may adopt rules necessary to regulate
320	320	22 advance deposit wagering through the use of emergency
321	321	23 rulemaking in accordance with Section 5-45 of the Illinois
322	322	24 Administrative Procedure Act. The General Assembly finds that
323	323	25 the adoption of rules to regulate advance deposit wagering is
324	324	26 deemed an emergency and necessary for the public interest,

337	337	3 organization licensee. Any moneys retained by the organization
338	338	4 licensee from advance deposit wagering, not including moneys
339	339	5 retained by the advance deposit wagering licensee, shall be
340	340	6 paid 50% to the organization licensee's purse account and 50%
341	341	7 to the organization licensee. With the exception of any
342	342	8 organization licensee that is owned by a publicly traded
343	343	9 company that is incorporated in a state other than Illinois
344	344	10 and advance deposit wagering licensees under contract with
345	345	11 such organization licensees, organization licensees that
346	346	12 maintain advance deposit wagering systems and advance deposit
347	347	13 wagering licensees that contract with organization licensees
348	348	14 shall provide sufficiently detailed monthly accountings to the
349	349	15 horsemen association representing the largest number of
350	350	16 owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
351	351	17 horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting so that
352	352	18 the horsemen association, as an interested party, can confirm
353	353	19 the accuracy of the amounts paid to the purse account at the

357	357	23 to an organization licensee's purse account shall be allocated
358	358	24 among all organization licensees' purse accounts operating at
359	359	25 that race track facility proportionately based on the actual
360	360	26 number of host days that the Board grants to that breed at that

373	373	3 Illinois for wagers in Illinois or other states have been
374	374	4 placed in escrow or otherwise withheld from wagers pending a
375	375	5 determination of the legality of advance deposit wagering, no
376	376	6 action shall be brought to declare such wagers or the
377	377	7 disbursement of any fees previously escrowed illegal.
378	378	8 (1) Between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. an
379	379	9 inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track
380	380	10 may supplement the host track simulcast program with
381	381	11 additional simulcast races or race programs, provided that
382	382	12 between January 1 and the third Friday in February of any
383	383	13 year, inclusive, if no live thoroughbred racing is
384	384	14 occurring in Illinois during this period, only
385	385	15 thoroughbred races may be used for supplemental interstate
386	386	16 simulcast purposes. The Board shall withhold approval for
387	387	17 a supplemental interstate simulcast only if it finds that
388	388	18 the simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of
389	389	19 racing. A supplemental interstate simulcast may be
390	390	20 transmitted from an inter-track wagering licensee to its
391	391	21 affiliated non-host licensees. The interstate commission
392	392	22 fee for a supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid

394	394	24 licensees receiving the simulcast.

408	408	2 the consent of the host track, except when the Board finds
409	409	3 that the simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of
410	410	4 racing. Consent granted under this paragraph (2) to any
411	411	5 inter-track wagering licensee shall be deemed consent to
412	412	6 all non-host licensees. The interstate commission fee for
413	413	7 the supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid by all
414	414	8 participating non-host licensees.
415	415	9 (3) Each licensee conducting interstate simulcast
416	416	10 wagering may retain, subject to the payment of all
417	417	11 applicable taxes and the purses, an amount not to exceed
418	418	12 17% of all money wagered. If any licensee conducts the
419	419	13 pari-mutuel system wagering on races conducted at
420	420	14 racetracks in another state or country, each such race or
421	421	15 race program shall be considered a separate racing day for
422	422	16 the purpose of determining the daily handle and computing
423	423	17 the privilege tax of that daily handle as provided in
424	424	18 subsection (a) of Section 27. Until January 1, 2000, from
425	425	19 the sums permitted to be retained pursuant to this
426	426	20 subsection, each inter-track wagering location licensee
427	427	21 shall pay 1% of the pari-mutuel handle wagered on
428	428	22 simulcast wagering to the Horse Racing Tax Allocation
429	429	23 Fund, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (B) of

443	443	1 may combine its gross or net pools with pools at the
444	444	2 sending racetracks pursuant to rules established by the
445	445	3 Board. All licensees combining their gross pools at a
446	446	4 sending racetrack shall adopt the takeout percentages of
447	447	5 the sending racetrack. A licensee may also establish a
448	448	6 separate pool and takeout structure for wagering purposes
449	449	7 on races conducted at race tracks outside of the State of
450	450	8 Illinois. The licensee may permit pari-mutuel wagers
451	451	9 placed in other states or countries to be combined with
452	452	10 its gross or net wagering pools or other wagering pools.

1684	1684	19 computing the privilege tax on such daily handle as provided
1685	1685	20 in subsection (a) of this Section.

1706	1706	5 taxes are assessed and may prescribe forms upon which such
1707	1707	6 reports and statement shall be made.
1708	1708	7 (d) Before a license is issued or re-issued, the licensee
1709	1709	8 shall post a bond in the sum of $500,000 to the State of
1710	1710	9 Illinois. The bond shall be used to guarantee that the
1711	1711	10 licensee faithfully makes the payments, keeps the books and
1712	1712	11 records, makes reports, and conducts games of chance in
1713	1713	12 conformity with this Act and the rules adopted by the Board.
1714	1714	13 The bond shall not be canceled by a surety on less than 30
1715	1715	14 days' notice in writing to the Board. If a bond is canceled and
1716	1716	15 the licensee fails to file a new bond with the Board in the
1717	1717	16 required amount on or before the effective date of
1718	1718	17 cancellation, the licensee's license shall be revoked. The
1719	1719	18 total and aggregate liability of the surety on the bond is
1720	1720	19 limited to the amount specified in the bond.
1721	1721	20 (e) No other license fee, privilege tax, excise tax, or
1722	1722	21 racing fee, except as provided in this Act, shall be assessed

1724	1724	23 (f) No other license fee, privilege tax, excise tax or
1725	1725	24 racing fee shall be assessed or collected from any such

1739	1739	2 licensed horse race meeting at a race track wholly within its
1740	1740	3 corporate boundaries or a township that has a Board licensed
1741	1741	4 horse race meeting at a race track wholly within the
1742	1742	5 unincorporated area of the township may charge a local
1743	1743	6 amusement tax not to exceed 10 per admission to such horse
1744	1744	7 race meeting by the enactment of an ordinance. However, any
1745	1745	8 municipality or county that has a Board licensed inter-track
1746	1746	9 wagering location facility wholly within its corporate
1747	1747	10 boundaries may each impose an admission fee not to exceed
1748	1748	11 $1.00 per admission to such inter-track wagering location
1749	1749	12 facility, so that a total of not more than $2.00 per admission
1750	1750	13 may be imposed. Except as provided in subparagraph (g) of
1751	1751	14 Section 27 of this Act, the inter-track wagering location
1752	1752	15 licensee shall collect any and all such fees. Inter-track
1753	1753	16 wagering location licensees must pay the admission fees
1754	1754	17 required under this subsection (f) to the municipality and
1755	1755	18 county no later than the 20th of the month following the month
1756	1756	19 such admission fees were imposed.
1757	1757	20 (g) Notwithstanding any provision in this Act to the
1758	1758	21 contrary, if in any calendar year the total taxes and fees from
1759	1759	22 wagering on live racing and from inter-track wagering required
1760	1760	23 to be collected from licensees and distributed under this Act

1785	1785	12 thoroughbred's and standardbred's respective percentages
1786	1786	13 of total Illinois live wagering in calendar year 1994;
1787	1787	14 (ii) each thoroughbred and standardbred organization
1788	1788	15 licensee issued an organization licensee in that
1789	1789	16 succeeding allocation year shall be allocated an amount
1790	1790	17 equal to the product of its percentage of total Illinois
1791	1791	18 live thoroughbred or standardbred wagering in calendar
1792	1792	19 year 1994 (the total to be determined based on the sum of
1793	1793	20 1994 on-track wagering for all organization licensees
1794	1794	21 issued organization licenses in both the allocation year
1795	1795	22 and the preceding year) multiplied by the total amount
