AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 737

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 737, AS AMENDED, with reference to page and line numbers of Senate Amendment No. 1 as follows:

on page 270, immediately below line 16, by inserting the following:

"(k) Subject to the approval of the Illinois Gaming Board, an organization licensee that (i) receives an electronic gaming license under this Act and (ii) has operating control of a race track facility located in Cook County, may relocate its race track facility within Cook County in conjunction with plans to construct a new structure for purposes of electronic gaming at a location within a 3-mile radius of its existing race track facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Act, a race track facility may not be relocated outside of the 3-mile radius without the written consent of the geographically closest existing race track facility from that planned relocation. The relocation must include the race track facility, including the race track operations used to conduct live racing and the planned electronic gaming facility in its entirety. For the purposes of this subsection (k), "race track facility" means all operations conducted on the race track property for which it was awarded a license for pari-mutuel wagering and live racing in the year 2010, except for the real estate itself. The Illinois Gaming Board shall make its decision after consulting with the Illinois Racing Board, and any relocation application shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Act and the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975.".
