    2  
    3         Between lines 1130 and 1131
    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, except
   20  for a greyhound racing permitholder, must have requested, as
   21  part of its pari-mutuel annual license application, to conduct
   22  at least 90 percent of the total number of live performances
   23  conducted by such permitholder during either the state fiscal
   24  year in which its initial cardroom license was issued or the
   25  state fiscal year immediately prior thereto if the permitholder
   26  ran at least a full schedule of live racing or games in the
   27  prior year. If the application is for a harness permitholder
   28  cardroom, the applicant must have requested authorization to
   29  conduct a minimum of 140 live performances during the state
   30  fiscal year immediately prior thereto. If more than one
   31  permitholder is operating at a facility, each permitholder must
   32  have applied for a license to conduct a full schedule of live
   33  racing.
