Vote Yes on this bill if you want to let many tracks end live racing after a three-year notice, allow permit transfers and same-county moves without referendums, expand leasing to 50 miles, keep eligibility for slots and card rooms, add state oversight to a nonprofit board, and ease some taxes and penalties.

Organizations that support this bill may include gaming and pari-mutuel operators, card room and slot facility owners, business and tourism groups seeking flexibility to invest, and animal welfare advocates who favor fewer live races.

Vote No on this bill if you want to keep gaming tied to live racing, require local voter approval for relocations, preserve stricter tax and permit forfeiture rules, and limit expansion of card rooms and simulcasts detached from racing.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include horse breeders, trainers, and racetrack worker groups, local governments that prefer referendums on relocations, and anti-gambling or taxpayer watchdog groups concerned about tax breaks.
