Provides that if only one breed of horse racing is conducted at a racetrack that is located in Madison County in a given year after 2001, certain purse moneys derived from simulcast wagering and inter-track wagering shall be paid only to the purse account of the breed that raced at that track for that year, provided that the racetrack conducts at least as many days of live racing as in calendar year 2000.

Makes changes concerning the issuance of an inter-track wagering license to a racetrack located in Madison County. FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Racing Board) Enactment of HB 1069 would likely preserve the existing number of live racing days (161) at Fairmount Park (Madison County). Therefore, with no reduction in live racing at Fair- mount Park, State revenues generated from parimutuel taxes would remain constant. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes everything.

Provides that moneys so paid into that Fund shall be used as determined by the Department of Agriculture, with the advice and assistance of the Illinois Standardbred Breeders Fund Advisory Board. Provides that failure to make the payment shall result in immediate revocation of the licensee's organization license, inter-track wagering license, and inter-track wagering location license. Provides that if live standardbred racing is conducted at that racetrack in calendar year 2001 before the payment is made, the organization licensee shall pay all moneys derived from simulcast wagering and inter-track wagering during 2000 and 2001 that (1) are to be used for purses and (2) are generated between 6:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. during 2000 or 2001 to the standardbred purse account at that racetrack to be used for standardbred purses.
