Section 189.47. Number of nonprimary locations permitted

(a) A licensed corporation authorized to hold race meetings at a primary racetrack location at which more than one license is so authorized may be granted approval for two nonprimary locations, except that no approval will be granted if the approval would result in the number of nonprimary locations for any primary racetrack exceeding four. For purposes of this section, the term ‘‘primary racetrack’’ includes a racetrack at which either horse or harness race meetings, or both, are being conducted.

(b) A licensed corporation authorized to hold race meetings at a primary racetrack location at which only one license is so authorized may be granted approval for three nonprimary locations.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) or (b), the Commission may approve one additional nonprimary location during the calendar year 1989 and 1990 for one corporation licensed to conduct race meetings at the primary racetrack location.

(d) Recognizing that the approvals referred to in subsection (c) may only be granted in 1989 and 1990 respectively, and recognizing the increased risk placed upon construction workers and the public if the pace of construction is accelerated, the Commission adopts the following interpretation. A nonprimary location subject to subsection (c) shall be deemed to be approved at the time when the Commission approves the information contained in Part I of the Statement. This approval shall be subject to revocation if the information contained in Parts II and III of the Statement is not approved. Other Statements shall be deemed approved only when all parts of the Statement have been approved.

(e) A primary racetrack location at which more than one licensed corporation is so authorized shall be awarded a maximum of six nonprimary locations. A primary racetrack location at which only one licensed corporation is so authorized shall be awarded a maximum of five nonprimary locations.
