Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975. Provides that an organization licensee may not be allowed to conduct a horse race meeting at any place within 5 miles (rather than 35 miles) of any other place licensed by the Board to hold a race meeting on the same date during the same hours. Gives an organization licensee the authority to (i) determine and set hours of operation and days of operation for intertrack wagering under an intertrack wagering license and intertrack wagering location license and (ii) determine wagering on simulcast programs on out-of-state races at wagering facilities at which intertrack wagering and intertrack wagering location licensees owned by the organization licensee conduct business. Provides that a non-host licensee may carry the host track simulcast program and may (rather than shall) accept wagers on all races included as part of the simulcast program upon which wagering is permitted. Effective immediately.
