(f) Each applicant for an organization gaming license
shall specify in its application for licensure the number of
gaming positions it will operate, up to the applicable
limitation set forth in subsection (e) of this Section. Any
unreserved gaming positions that are not specified shall be

10300SB0584sam001 - 10 - LRB103 03056 MXP 64891 a

and competitive bidding process, as provided under Section 7.5
of this Act. This process shall continue until all unreserved
gaming positions have been purchased. All positions obtained
pursuant to this process and all positions the organization
gaming licensee specified it would operate in its application
must be in operation within 18 months after they were obtained
or the organization gaming licensee forfeits the right to
operate those positions, but is not entitled to a refund of any
fees paid. The Board may, after holding a public hearing,

10300SB0584sam001 - 11 - LRB103 03056 MXP 64891 a
grant extensions so long as the organization gaming licensee
is working in good faith to make the positions operational.
The extension may be for a period of 6 months. If, after the
period of the extension, the organization gaming licensee has
not made the positions operational, then another public
hearing must be held by the Board before it may grant another
extension.
Unreserved gaming positions retained from and allocated to
organization gaming licensees by the Board pursuant to this
subsection (f) shall not be allocated to owners licensees
under this Act.
For the purpose of this subsection (f), the unreserved
gaming positions for each organization gaming licensee shall
be the applicable limitation set forth in subsection (e) of
this Section, less the number of reserved gaming positions by
such organization gaming licensee, and the total unreserved
gaming positions shall be the aggregate of the unreserved
gaming positions for all organization gaming licensees.

conduct the following at a racetrack:
(1) slot machine gambling;
(2) video game of chance gambling;
(3) gambling with electronic gambling games as defined

(h) Subject to the approval of the Illinois Gaming Board,

10300SB0584sam001 - 12 - LRB103 03056 MXP 64891 a
an organization gaming licensee may make modification or
additions to any existing buildings and structures to comply
with the requirements of this Act. The Illinois Gaming Board
shall make its decision after consulting with the Illinois
Racing Board. In no case, however, shall the Illinois Gaming
Board approve any modification or addition that alters the
grounds of the organization licensee such that the act of live
racing is an ancillary activity to gaming authorized under
this Section. Gaming authorized under this Section may take
place in existing structures where inter-track wagering is
conducted at the racetrack or a facility within 300 yards of
the racetrack in accordance with the provisions of this Act
and the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975.
(i) An organization gaming licensee may conduct gaming at
a temporary facility pending the construction of a permanent
facility or the remodeling or relocation of an existing
facility to accommodate gaming participants for up to 24
months after the temporary facility begins to conduct gaming
authorized under this Section. Upon request by an organization
gaming licensee and upon a showing of good cause by the
organization gaming licensee, the Board shall extend the
period during which the licensee may conduct gaming authorized
under this Section at a temporary facility by up to 12 months
or another period of time deemed necessary or appropriate by
the Board. The Board shall make rules concerning the conduct
of gaming authorized under this Section from temporary

10300SB0584sam001 - 13 - LRB103 03056 MXP 64891 a
facilities.
The gaming authorized under this Section may take place in
existing structures where inter-track wagering is conducted at
the racetrack or a facility within 300 yards of the racetrack
in accordance with the provisions of this Act and the Illinois
Horse Racing Act of 1975.
(i-5) Under no circumstances shall an organization gaming
licensee conduct gaming at any State or county fair.
(j) The Illinois Gaming Board must adopt emergency rules
in accordance with Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act as necessary to ensure compliance with the
provisions of this amendatory Act of the 101st General
Assembly concerning the conduct of gaming by an organization
gaming licensee. The adoption of emergency rules authorized by
this subsection (j) shall be deemed to be necessary for the
public interest, safety, and welfare.
(k) Each organization gaming licensee who obtains gaming
positions must make a reconciliation payment 3 years after the
date the organization gaming licensee begins operating the
positions in an amount equal to 75% of the difference between
its adjusted gross receipts from gaming authorized under this
Section and amounts paid to its purse accounts pursuant to
item (1) of subsection (b) of Section 56 of the Illinois Horse
Racing Act of 1975 for the 12-month period for which such
difference was the largest, minus an amount equal to the
initial per position fee paid by the organization gaming

10300SB0584sam001 - 14 - LRB103 03056 MXP 64891 a
licensee. If this calculation results in a negative amount,
then the organization gaming licensee is not entitled to any
reimbursement of fees previously paid. This reconciliation
payment may be made in installments over a period of no more
than 6 years.
All payments by licensees under this subsection (k) shall
be deposited into the Rebuild Illinois Projects Fund.
(l) As soon as practical after a request is made by the
Illinois Gaming Board, to minimize duplicate submissions by
the applicant, the Illinois Racing Board must provide
information on an applicant for an organization gaming license
to the Illinois Gaming Board.

location with the approval of both the unit of local

approved by the Board, for any renovation or construction
costs paid by the owners licensee for the construction of the

Illinois gaming facilities.
(a-7) Beginning in the initial adjustment year and through
the final adjustment year, if the total obligation imposed
pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) will result in an
owners licensee receiving less after-tax adjusted gross
receipts than it received in calendar year 2018, then the
total amount of privilege taxes that the owners licensee is
required to pay for that calendar year shall be reduced to the
extent necessary so that the after-tax adjusted gross receipts
in that calendar year equals the after-tax adjusted gross
receipts in calendar year 2018, but the privilege tax
reduction shall not exceed the annual adjustment cap. If
pursuant to this subsection (a-7), the total obligation

10300SB0584sam001 - 28 - LRB103 03056 MXP 64891 a
imposed pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) shall be
reduced, then the owners licensee shall not receive a refund
from the State at the end of the subject calendar year but
instead shall be able to apply that amount as a credit against
any payments it owes to the State in the following calendar
year to satisfy its total obligation under either subsection
(a-5) or (a-6). The credit for the final adjustment year shall
occur in the calendar year following the final adjustment
year.

June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-31) until
June 28, 2024 (the 5th anniversary of the effective date of
Public Act 101-31), then for each $15,000,000 spent for any
such construction or other costs related to expansion paid by
the owners licensee, the final adjustment year shall be
extended by one year and the annual adjustment cap shall
increase by 0.2% of adjusted gross receipts during each
calendar year until and including the final adjustment year.
No further modifications to the final adjustment year or
annual adjustment cap shall be made after $75,000,000 is
incurred in construction or other costs related to expansion

10300SB0584sam001 - 29 - LRB103 03056 MXP 64891 a
