AI Summary

This bill clarifies that a licensed racetrack casino must not hold an active dog racing license to receive telecasts and accept wagers on dog and horse races, or to qualify for video lottery or racetrack table game licenses. It specifically addresses situations for facilities that held dog racing licenses before January 1, 1994, allowing them to continue operating under certain conditions, such as discontinuing live dog racing and paying a cessation fee, or to maintain their video lottery and table game licenses without conducting live racing, provided they continue to operate their original facility and offer amenities. The bill also makes technical amendments to definitions and requirements related to racing licenses, video lottery, and table games, ensuring consistency and updating provisions for facilities that may no longer conduct live dog racing but wish to maintain their other gaming operations.
