Bill Summary

This bill removes the limitations on when a simulcasting facility can accept future wagers on horse races that the facility will not be receiving a simulcast transmission of, or displaying. The facility will be allowed to accept wagers on future races any time the facility is open to the public. The bill also reduces the timeframe required for unpaid cash vouchers to lapse from three years to one year. The cash value of the lapsed voucher is divided equally between the permitholder at the location where the voucher was purchased and the purse account at the same location. Finally, the bill reduces the number of thoroughbred races required to be held annually at the Meadowlands Racetrack and Monmouth Park from 50 to 25, with the written consent of the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association.
