Local approval for simulcasting.

Summary

The bill makes it mandatory for anyone who wants to run a simulcast pari‑mutuel wagering operation, including historic horse‑racing terminals, to obtain a permit from the state commission and also get approval from the local city, town or county government where the activity will occur. It adds a public notice and objection process, and lets local officials set reasonable operating conditions. This gives localities more control over land use, safety and community impact of simulcasting.
