    (d-5) Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly until July 1, 2024, a licensee under this Act may accept a wager for a sports event involving an Illinois collegiate team if:
        (1) the wager is a tier 1 wager;
        (2) the wager is not related to an individual
    
athlete's performance; and
        (3) the wager is made in person instead of over the

Such notification shall be made in the form and manner as the Board may require. If a sports governing body does not notify the Board of its desire to supply official league data, a master sports wagering licensee may use any data source for determining the results of any and all tier 2 sports wagers on sports contests for that sports governing body.
    Within 30 days of a sports governing body notifying the Board, master sports wagering licensees shall use only official league data to determine the results of tier 2 sports wagers on sports events sanctioned by that sports governing body, unless: (1) the sports governing body or designee cannot provide a feed of official league data to determine the results of a particular type of tier 2 sports wager, in which case master sports wagering licensees may use any data source for determining the results of the applicable tier 2 sports wager until such time as such data feed becomes available on commercially reasonable terms; or (2) a master sports wagering licensee can demonstrate to the Board that the sports governing body or its designee cannot provide a feed of official league data to the master sports wagering licensee on commercially reasonable terms. During the pendency of the Board's determination, such master sports wagering licensee may use any data source for determining the results of any and all tier 2 sports wagers.
    (h) A licensee under this Act may not accept wagers on a kindergarten through 12th grade sports event.
