Summary
The measure amends Florida’s pari‑mutuel statutes to allow greyhound, jai alai, thoroughbred, harness and quarter‑horse permit holders to choose not to run live races or games and still retain their permits, slot‑machine and cardroom eligibility. It also tightens tax penalties for thoroughbred permits that fail to pay handle taxes and bans live greyhound racing. The changes aim to give operators more flexibility while protecting state tax revenue and promoting Florida‑bred horses.
