| Sec. 32.1. Pari-mutuel tax credit; statewide racetrack | 12 |
| real estate
equalization.
In order to encourage new investment | 13 |
| in Illinois racetrack facilities and
mitigate differing real | 14 |
| estate tax burdens among all racetracks, the licensees
| 15 |
| affiliated or associated with each racetrack that has been | 16 |
| awarded live racing
dates in the current year and that | 17 |
| conducted live racing in 1998 shall receive an immediate | 18 |
| pari-mutuel tax credit in
an amount equal to the greater of (i) | 19 |
| 50% of the amount of the real estate
taxes paid in the prior | 20 |
| year attributable to that racetrack, or (ii) the amount
by | 21 |
| which the real estate taxes paid in the prior year attributable | 22 |
| to that
racetrack exceeds 60% of the average real estate taxes | 23 |
| paid in the prior year
for all racetracks awarded live horse | 24 |
| racing meets in the current year.
| 25 |
| Each year, regardless of whether the organization licensee |

| conducted live
racing in the year of certification, the
Board | 2 |
| shall certify in writing, prior to December 31, the real
estate | 3 |
| taxes paid in that year for each racetrack and the amount of | 4 |
| the
pari-mutuel tax credit that each organization licensee, | 5 |
| intertrack wagering
licensee, and intertrack wagering location | 6 |
| licensee that derives its license
from such racetrack is | 7 |
| entitled in the succeeding calendar year. The real
estate taxes | 8 |
| considered under this Section
for any racetrack shall be those | 9 |
| taxes on the real estate parcels and related
facilities used to | 10 |
| conduct a horse race meeting and inter-track wagering at
such
| 11 |
| racetrack under this Act.
In no event shall the amount of the | 12 |
| tax credit under this Section exceed the
amount of pari-mutuel | 13 |
| taxes otherwise calculated under this Act.
The amount of the | 14 |
| tax credit under this Section
shall be retained by each | 15 |
| licensee and shall not be subject to any reallocation
or | 16 |
| further distribution under this Act. The Board may promulgate | 17 |
| emergency
rules to implement this Section.
