    4  insert:
    5         Section 40. Paragraph (b) of subsection (5) of section
    6  849.086, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
    7         849.086 Cardrooms authorized.—
    8         (5) LICENSE REQUIRED; APPLICATION; FEES.—No person may
    9  operate a cardroom in this state unless such person holds a
   10  valid cardroom license issued pursuant to this section.
   11         (b) After the initial cardroom license is granted, the
   12  application for the annual license renewal shall be made in
   13  conjunction with the applicant’s annual application for its
   14  pari-mutuel license. If a permitholder has operated a cardroom
   15  during any of the 3 previous fiscal years and fails to include a
   16  renewal request for the operation of the cardroom in its annual
   17  application for license renewal, the permitholder may amend its
   18  annual application to include operation of the cardroom. In
   19  order for a cardroom license to be renewed the applicant must
   20  have requested, as part of its pari-mutuel annual license
   21  application, to conduct at least 90 percent of the total number
   22  of live performances conducted by such permitholder during
   23  either the state fiscal year in which its initial cardroom
   24  license was issued or the state fiscal year immediately prior
   25  thereto if the permitholder ran at least a full schedule of live
   26  racing or games in the prior year. If the application is for a
   27  harness permitholder cardroom, the applicant must have requested
   28  authorization to conduct a minimum of 140 live performances
   29  during the state fiscal year immediately prior thereto. If more
   30  than one permitholder is operating at a facility, each
   31  permitholder must have applied for a license to conduct a full
   32  schedule of live racing.
