Sec. 21. K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 74-8836
is hereby amended to read as
follows: 74-8836. (a) Any organization licensee that conducts at
least 150
days of live racing during a calendar year or a fair association
that conducts
fewer than 22 days of live racing during a calendar year may apply
to the
commission for a simulcasting license to display simulcast horse or
grey-
hound races and to conduct intertrack parimutuel wagering thereon.
If
the organization licensee conducts races at a racetrack facility
that is
owned by a facility owner licensee, both licensees shall join in
the appli-
cation. A simulcasting license granted to a fair association that
conducts
fewer than 22 days of live racing shall restrict the fair
association's display
of simulcast races to a number of days, including days on which it
con-
ducts live races, equal to not more than twice the number of days
on
which it conducts live races.
(b) (1) A simulcasting license
granted to an organization licensee
other than a fair association shall authorize the display of
simulcast races
at the racetrack facility where the live races are conducted so
long as the
licensee conducts at least eight live races per day and an average
of 10
live races per day per week. If a simulcasting licensee conducts
live horse
races on a day when simulcast races are displayed by the licensee
and the
licensee conducts fewer than an average of 10 live horse races per
day
per week, not less than 80% of the races on which wagers are taken
by
the licensee during such week shall be live races conducted by the
li-
censee unless approved by the recognized horsemen's group or upon
a
finding by the commission that the organization licensee was unable
to
do so for reasonable cause. If a simulcast licensee conducts live
greyhound
races on a day when simulcast races are displayed by the licensee
and the
licensee schedules fewer than 13 live greyhound races during a
perform-
ance on such day, not less than 80% of the races on which wagers
are
taken by the licensee during such performance shall be live races
con-
ducted by the licensee.
(2) A simulcasting license granted to a
fair association shall authorize
the display of simulcast races at the racetrack facility where the
races are
conducted only if live races are scheduled for two or more days of
the
same calendar week, except that the licensee may conduct simulcast
races
in the week immediately before and immediately after a live meeting
if
the total number of days on which simulcast races are displayed
does not
exceed the total authorized in subsection (a). In no case shall the
live
meet or simulcast races allowed under this subsection exceed 10
consec-
utive weeks. For purposes of this subsection, a calendar week shall
be
measured from Monday through the following Sunday.
(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of
subsection (a), (b)(1) or (b)(2),
a fair association may apply to the commission for not more than
five
additional days of simulcasting of special events. In addition, the
com-
mission may authorize a fair association to display additional
simulcast
races but, if such fair association is less than 100 miles from an
organi-
zation licensee that is not a fair association, it
must also shall secure writ-
ten consent from that organization licensee.
(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of
subsection (b)(1), if an emer-
gency causes the cancellation of all or any live races scheduled
for a day
or performance by a simulcasting licensee, the commission or the
com-
mission's designee may authorize the licensee to display any
simulcast
races previously scheduled for such day or performance.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of
subsection (b)(1), the commis-
sion may authorize the licensee to display simulcast special racing
events
as designated by the commission.
(c) The application for a simulcasting
license shall be filed with the
commission at a time and place prescribed by rules and regulations
of
the commission. The application shall be in a form and include
such
information as the commission prescribes.
(d) To qualify for a simulcasting license

mulcast; (C) both the recognized greyhound owners' group and a
rec-
ognized horsemen's group, if the applicant is licensed to conduct

agree-
ment.
(e) The term of a simulcasting license
shall be one year.
(f) A simulcasting licensee may apply to
the commission or its des-
ignee for changes in the licensee's approved simulcasting schedule
if such
changes are approved by the respective recognized greyhound
owners'
group or recognized horsemen's group needed throughout the term
of
the license. Application shall be made upon forms furnished by the
com-
mission and shall contain such information as the commission
prescribes.

meet-
ing at the racetrack facility where the simulcast races are
displayed. For
simulcast races the tax imposed on amounts wagered shall be as
provided
by K.S.A. 74-8823, and amendments thereto. Of the balance of
the tak-
eout remaining after deduction of taxes, an amount equal to a
percentage,
to be determined by the commission, of the gross sum wagered on
si-
mulcast races shall be used for purses, as follows:
(1) For greyhound races conducted by the
licensee, if the simulcast
race is a greyhound race and the licensee conducts only live
greyhound
races;

does not
conduct or is not currently conducting live greyhound races; or
(4) for horse races and greyhound races,
as determined by both the
recognized horsemen's group and the recognized greyhound
owners'
group, if the simulcast is a horse race and the licensee does not
conduct
or is not currently conducting live horse races. That portion of
simulcast
purse money determined to be used for horse purses shall be
apportioned
by the commission to the various horse race meetings held in any
calendar
year based upon the number of live horse race dates comprising
such
horse race meetings in the preceding calendar year.

(j):
(1) If a simulcasting licensee has a
