Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975. Allows an organization licensee to maintain a system whereby advance deposit wagering may take place or to contract with another person to carry out a system of advance deposit wagering. Makes changes in the definitions of "Inter-track wagering", "non-host licensee", "pari-mutuel system of wagering", "licensee", "wagering facility", and "wagering" and in provisions concerning the pari-mutuel tax concerning advance deposit wagering. Adds definitions of "advance deposit wagering licensee" and "advance deposit wagering". Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that organization licensees providing live signals may petition the Illinois Racing Board to withhold their live signals from an advance deposit wagering licensee if the organization licensee discovers and the Board finds reputable or credible information that the advance deposit wagering licensee is under investigation by another state or federal governmental agency, the advance deposit wagering licensee's license has been suspended in another state, or the advance deposit wagering licensee's license is in revocation proceedings in another state and that the organization licensee's provision of their live signal to an advance deposit wagering licensee pertains to wagers placed from within Illinois. In provisions requiring consent of a horsemen association to conduct advance deposit wagering, provides that the consent may not be unreasonably withheld. In provisions concerning distribution of the moneys retained by the organization licensee from advance deposit wagering, provides that, if more than one breed races at the same race track facility, then the 50% of the moneys to be paid to an organization licensee's purse account shall be allocated among all organization licensees purse accounts operating at that race track facility proportionately based on the actual number of host days that the board grants to that breed at that race track facility in the current calendar year.
