AI Summary
This bill amends two Illinois laws, the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 and the Illinois Gambling Act, to remove restrictions on employees of the Illinois Racing Board and the Illinois Gaming Board. Specifically, it eliminates a provision that prevented these employees from having been employed by or received compensation from any entity that had done business with the respective boards, their licensees, or licensees under the other gambling act within the year prior to their employment. This change aims to broaden the pool of potential employees by removing this past business relationship as a disqualifier.
