Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. Payment. Amounts received pursuant to section 1218, subsection 1, paragraph C and amounts
calculated as purse supplement share under section 286 must be paid to the commission for distribution
as provided in subsection 2.
[PL 2021, c. 681, Pt. J, §3 (AMD).]
2. Distribution. On May 30th, September 30th and January 30th, amounts received under
subsection 1 for distribution in accordance with this subsection must be divided among the licensees
conducting live racing in the State. The amount of the payment made to a licensee is calculated by
multiplying the amount of money available for distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of race dates on which that licensee conducted live racing in any calendar year and the
denominator of which is the total number of race dates on which all licensees conducted live racing in
that year. Beginning January 30, 1997, the January 30th payment must be adjusted to reflect the dates
when live racing was actually conducted during the previous year, not the dates granted.
[PL 2021, c. 681, Pt. J, §3 (AMD).]
