Requires harness racetrack locations awarded a gaming facility license maintain live racing activity
This bill requires harness racetracks that have been granted a gaming facility license to continue holding live racing events. It directly affects licensed harness racetracks by mandating they maintain scheduled live races under existing state racing laws. The key provision amends state law to specifically state that these tracks must preserve "live racing activity and race dates," adding clarity beyond previous requirements. The bill does not create new gaming licenses but ensures existing license holders uphold live racing as a condition of their license. It takes effect 90 days after enactment.
