Horse Racing - Racetrack Facility Renewal Account Grants - Alterations
What this bill does
Authorizing, rather than requiring, a certain racing licensee to receive a grant for a capital construction plan from the Racetrack Facility Renewal Account; requiring the racing licensee that receives the grant without providing and expending a matching fund to conduct live racing days in the State for at least 10 years after the construction plan is complete; altering the amount of the balance in the Racetrack Facility Renewal Account that is to be made available to certain racing licensees if certain racetracks are closed; etc.
