This Act authorizes the addition of two video lottery agents, one in Sussex County and one in New Castle County, through an application process conducted by a Lottery Redevelopment Committee. This Act also increases the number of required racing days to reflect the current amount of racing, and prevents the addition of video lottery agents from triggering a reduction in the minimum number of days that existing harness tracks must offer harness racing. The Act also expresses the intent of the General Assembly that the new Video Lottery Casinos will be subject to a one-time license fee and ongoing license fees, purse contributions and other statutorily mandated payments that are currently the same as that currently required of video lottery agents, as well as such fees as are necessary to create a level playing field for competition with video lottery agents who operate horse racing or harness racing, and directs the Department of Finance to prepare legislation implementing that intent.

An Act To Amend Titles 3 And 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Licensing Of Video Lottery Casinos And Harness Racing Days.
