HB 1101 orders a legislative referendum for a potential ballot measure related to amusements and sports gaming, unless another specific bill (HB 1047) becomes law. It proposes allowing the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission to license up to three racetrack organizations to conduct various electronic and tribal-compact-authorized gaming. These racetracks would be limited in the number of gaming terminals based on county population and could only operate gaming at their racing facilities during live or simulcast racing days. The bill also specifies that this authorized gaming would be lawful and not subject to criminal penalties, and local ordinances could not restrict it.
