Except during the opening and closing week of a race meeting, the applicant shall apply to conduct live racing not fewer than 2 days per week, with not fewer than 8 live horse races programmed, and shall conduct live racing programs on the days allocated by the racing commissioner. The commissioner shall allocate not fewer than 10 days of live horse racing to a race meeting licensee with not fewer than 6 programmed live races per allocated day. (2) An applicant for a license to conduct a standardbred race meeting shall apply to conduct not fewer than 30 days of live standardbred harness horse racing during its proposed race meeting. Except during the opening and closing week of a race meeting, the applicant shall apply to conduct live horse racing not fewer than 2 days per week, with not fewer than 8 live horse races programmed, and shall conduct live racing programs on the days awarded. The commissioner shall allocate not fewer than 10 days of live horse racing to a race meeting licensee with not fewer than 6 programmed live races per allocated day. (3) If a race meeting licensee is unable to program and conduct 8 live horse races on a racing date awarded to the licensee because there are fewer than 5 entries in a race, the licensee shall not conduct any simulcasting or pari-mutuel wagering on that day without the written consent of the certified horsemen's organization with which it has a contract. (4) If a race meeting licensee is unable to conduct racing on a live racing date awarded to the licensee or fewer than 8 live horse races on an awarded live racing date because of a labor dispute, fire, adverse weather conditions, or other causes beyond the race meeting licensee's control, the race meeting licensee is considered to have conducted those races or that race date for purposes of this act and is not precluded from conducting any simulcasts or pari-mutuel wagering because of the licensee's inability to conduct those live races or that race date. (5) Intertrack simulcast races that a race meeting licensee contracts to receive from other racetracks that are canceled for any of the reasons described in subsection (4) are offered to the public for purposes of this act. (6) If an entire race meeting or the balance of a race meeting and racing dates awarded to a licensee cannot be raced because of an act of God or significant physical damage to the licensed racetrack at which the race meeting was licensed to be conducted caused by fire or some other catastrophe, the racing commissioner may transfer those dates to another race meeting licensee upon application of the substitute licensee if the substitute licensee satisfies the requirements for licensure under this act and demonstrates that it has or will have a legal or contractual right to the use of a different licensed racetrack facility on the racing dates in question, and all race meeting licensees that will be conducting live racing on those dates within 50 miles of the substitute racetrack consent to the transfer. (7) Notwithstanding anything in this act to the contrary, if the racing commissioner determines that 1 or more of the conditions listed in subsection (8) apply and the contracted certified horsemen's organization is in agreement, the racing commissioner may amend an existing race meeting license and simulcast permit to allow the licensee to continue simulcasting or conducting pari-mutuel wagering during the remaining period of the race meeting license. An amended license under this section may be issued by the racing commissioner at any time, including at the time of the initial issuance of the race meeting license for the upcoming year during which it is valid. (8) The racing commissioner may issue an order amending a race meeting license under subsection (7) if he or she determines that the licensee is capable of conducting simulcast horse racing or pari-mutuel wagering in accordance with this act and that 1 or more of the following conditions exist: (a) There is inadequate horse supply for the licensee to conduct a live race meeting of at least 10 days with 6 races per day. (b) There is inadequate funding of live racing purses to support the licensee's conducting of a live race meeting of at least 10 days with 6 races per day. (c) There is no certified horsemen's organization operating in this state. (9) In order to obtain an amended license issued under subsection (7) and satisfy the live racing requirements of this act, the licensee must have a written contract with a certified horsemen's organization to pay a percentage of its net commission from simulcasting or from conducting pari-mutuel wagering to the live racing purse pool at another racetrack licensed under this act during the period when the amended license issued under subsection (7) is in effect. Unless otherwise provided in the written contract between the licensee and the certified horsemen's organization, the payment must be not less than 25% of net commission from simulcasting or from conducting pari-mutuel wagering if only 1 certified horsemen's organization has a contract for live race days in this state for the calendar year. If both certified horsemen's organizations have a contract for live race dates in this state for the calendar year, the payment must be not more than 40% of the net commission from simulcasting. (10) Subsections (7) to (9) apply only to amendments to a race meeting license for the purpose of allowing simulcast-only operations or pari-mutuel wagering-only and are not limitations on or requirements for other race meeting license amendments the racing commissioner may approve or deny. (11) Notwithstanding anything in this act to the contrary, if a race meeting licensee and the certified horsemen's organization with which the licensee has a contract jointly request that the licensee be allowed to conduct a live race meeting with fewer than 8 races per day, the racing commissioner shall approve the request and issue an order amending the license accordingly. Sec. 14. (1) Before November 1 of the year preceding the year for which applications are made, the racing commissioner shall grant or deny each application for a race meeting license, allocate or deny the dates, for which application has been made, on which pari-mutuel wagering on live races may be conducted at each licensed race meeting in this state, and shall also determine whether the applicant may simulcast under section 18 during the calendar year for which the license is issued. The racing commissioner may grant a race meeting license for any time period up to 1 year during which the licensee may conduct live and simulcast horse races with pari-mutuel wagering on the results of the races. (2) Subject to section 12(4), all simulcasting or pari-mutuel wagering authorized by the racing commissioner must be conditioned on the holder of the license conducting not fewer than 8 live horse races on each live racing date allocated in the holder's race meeting license, unless this requirement is waived in writing by both the racing commissioner and the certified horsemen's organization with which the licensee has contracted. (3) The racing commissioner shall not issue a race meeting license to an organization organized for a charitable purpose or organized for the purpose of distributing its profits or income to charitable organizations. (4) Except as provided in section 12(4), (5), and (6), if after the issuance of a race meeting license the racing commissioner determines on further investigation that the holder of a race meeting license has not met, or will be unable to meet, the requirements of the license, the racing commissioner may impose a fine or suspend or revoke the race meeting license, or both, for all or part of the remainder of the time period for which the license was granted. Before making the required determination to impose a fine or suspend or revoke a race meeting license under this subsection, the racing commissioner shall consider whether the race meeting licensee's inability or failure to meet the requirements of its license is due to a cause beyond the control of the race meeting licensee. (5) Any action taken by the racing commissioner under subsection (4) becomes effective 10 days after the holder of the race meeting license receives written notice unless the commissioner finds that the public health, safety, or welfare requires emergency action and immediate effect of the commissioner's order. (6) A denial of a race meeting license under subsection (3) may be appealed to the circuit court for judicial review under section 631 of the revised judicature act of 1961, 1961 PA 236, MCL 600.631. A suspension or revocation of a race meeting license may be appealed under the administrative procedures act of 1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.201 to 24.328.

All money due to this account must be deposited within a reasonable time after receipt by the race meeting licensee. The name of the depository and the identification number of the account must be designated in each race meeting license application and all interest earned by the account must be credited to the purse pool and deposited in the account. Sec. 19. (1) Subject to subsection (2), a race meeting licensee shall pay an amount equal to not less than 25% and not more than 40% of the net commission generated at the licensee's race meeting to a site-specific horsemen's purse account. Money paid into a horsemen's purse account under this act must be deposited in a depository designated by the participating certified horsemen's organizations and distributed by their designated agent as follows: (a) For purses for live horse races at a licensed race meeting in this state. (b) Each year, all certified horsemen's organizations that participate in a live race meeting may receive an amount approved by order of the racing commissioner to use for general expenses. Beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 of each year, the certified horsemen's organization is entitled to not less than 5% of the site-specific horsemen's purse account as ordered by the racing commissioner. (2) A race meeting licensee shall pay the net commission generated from wagering on live and simulcast racing through the race meeting licensee's third-party facilitator to the pari-mutuel horse racing disbursement account. On the first day of each month after the effective date of the amendatory act that added this subsection, Beginning January 1, 2020, and on the first day of each month after that date, money paid into the pari-mutuel horse racing disbursement account must be distributed as follows: (a) Fifty percent to be divided equally to each certified horsemen's organization.

The racing commissioner shall not allow a holder of a race meeting license to conduct pari-mutuel wagering on the outcome of a live horse race run in the past at a licensed racetrack unless the legislative body for the local unit of government in which the licensed racetrack is located has adopted an ordinance authorizing the activities surrounding the conduct of pari-mutuel wagering on the outcome of a live horse race run in the past at the licensed racetrack. (2) If pari-mutuel wagering is used at a race meeting, a totalisator or other device that is equal in accuracy and clearness to a totalisator and approved by the racing commissioner must be used.

(6) A holder of a race meeting license shall not knowingly permit a person less than 18 years of age to be a patron of the pari-mutuel wagering conducted or supervised by the holder. (7) Any act or transaction relative to pari-mutuel wagering on the results of live or simulcast horse races may be conducted by a race meeting licensee under this act for the race meeting licensee to comply with the auditing requirements of section 23. A person shall not provide messenger service for the placing of a bet for another person who is not a patron.

Each act of solicitation or wager that is accepted in violation of this section is a separate offense. (10) Only a race meeting licensee or its contracted licensed third-party facilitator may process, accept, offer, or solicit wagers on the results of live or simulcast horse races as determined and approved by the racing commissioner. (11) This act does not authorize a licensee or operator under this act to do either of the following: (a) Operate an internet gaming platform as that term is defined in section 3 of the lawful internet gaming act, 2019 PA 152, MCL 432.303. (b) Offer or accept any type of pari-mutuel wagering on the outcome of a live horse race run in the past via a mobile application or through any account wagering system, facilitator, or other mechanism using the internet.
