Bill > SB203

This bill revises provisions related to the pari-mutuel system of wagering in Nevada, making several key changes to how racing and off-track betting are regulated. The bill removes references to "disseminators" (intermediaries who previously transmitted racing information) and instead allows tracks to directly enter into agreements with race book, sports pool, or gambling game operators for live broadcast transmissions. It redefines terms related to off-track pari-mutuel wagering, such as changing how "service providers" are classified and registered. The bill also provides civil liability immunity for the Nevada Gaming Commission, Nevada Gaming Control Board, and the Off-Track Pari-Mutuel Wagering Committee when they take good-faith actions in regulating pari-mutuel wagering. Additionally, the bill modifies licensing and registration requirements for operators of off-track pari-mutuel systems, allowing them to be registered as service providers rather than fully licensed. The legislation further clarifies that off-track pari-mutuel systems and their operators do not need to be physically present in Nevada, provided they are licensed or approved in another jurisdiction where off-track pari-mutuel wagering is legal. The bill repeals several existing statutes related to disseminators and updates various technical definitions and regulatory provisions to streamline the pari-mutuel wagering system.
