state or political subdivision of this state for the purpose of

applying for, receiving, administering and disbursing federal funds

and other public monies for the benefit of general aviation

airports, except reliever airports, as may be available under

applicable federal law or other laws. If requested by a political

subdivision, the Department may act as its or their agent in

contracting for and supervising such planning, acquisition,

construction, improvement, maintenance, or operation; and all

political subdivisions are authorized to designate the Department as

their agent for the foregoing purposes. The Department, as

principal on behalf of the state, may enter into any contracts with

the United States or with any person, which may be required in

connection with a grant or loan of federal monies for municipal

of public convenience and necessity issued by any agency of the

United States to operate as a common carrier by air of persons

and/or property in interstate commerce. For such purposes the

Department may, by purchase, gift, devise, or lease, acquire

property, real or personal, or any interest therein including

easements in aeronautical hazards or land outside the boundaries of

an airport or airport site, as are necessary to permit safe and

efficient operation of the state airports or to permit the removal,

elimination, obstruction-marking or obstruction-lighting of airport

hazards, or to prevent the establishment of airport hazards. In

like manner the Department may acquire existing airports,

vertiports, and air navigation facilities. However, the Department

shall not acquire or take over any airport, vertiport, or air

navigation facility owned or controlled by a municipality of this or

any other state without the consent of such municipality. The

Department may, by sale, lease, or otherwise, dispose of any such

property, airport, vertiport, air navigation facility, or portion

thereof or interest therein. The disposal, by sale, lease, or

otherwise, shall be in accordance with the laws of this state

governing the disposition of other property of the state, except

that, in the case of disposals to any municipality or state

government or the United States for aeronautical purposes incident

airports owned and operated by the Oklahoma Space Industry

Development Authority shall be exempt from such provisions, and

during the time of a national emergency, the Air National Guard

shall be exempt from such provisions, and provided further, that any

airport owned by the state may be leased by the Department to a

public or private agency, as it may deem fit.

3. Nothing contained in the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace

and Aeronautics Act shall be construed to limit any right, power, or

authority of the state or a municipality to regulate airport hazards

by zoning.

4. The Department may exercise any powers granted by this

section jointly with any municipalities or with the United States.

5. a. In operating an airport, vertiport, or air navigation

facility owned or controlled by the state, the

Department may enter into contracts, leases, and other

arrangements for a term not exceeding twenty-five (25)

years with any persons granting the privilege of using

or improving such airport, vertiport, or air

navigation facility or any portion or facility thereof

or space therein for commercial purposes; conferring

the privilege of supplying goods, commodities, things,

services, or facilities at such airport, vertiport, or

air navigation facility; or making available services

to be furnished by the Department or its agents at

such airport, vertiport, or air navigation facility.

In each such case the Department may establish the

terms and conditions and fix the charges, rentals, or

fees for the privileges or services, which shall be

reasonable and uniform for the same class of

privileges or services and shall be established with

due regard to the property and improvements used and

the expenses of operation to the state; provided, that

in no case shall the public be deprived of its

rightful, equal, and uniform use of the airport,

vertiport, air navigation facility, or portion or

facility thereof.

b. The Department may by contract, lease, or other

arrangement, upon a consideration fixed by it, grant

to any qualified person for a term not to exceed

twenty-five (25) years the privilege of operating, as

agent of the state or otherwise, any airport owned or

controlled by the state; provided, that no such person

shall be granted any authority to operate the airport

other than as a public airport or to enter into any

contracts, leases, or other arrangements in connection

with the operation of the airport which the Department

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports Page 50

might not have undertaken under subparagraph a of this

paragraph.

c. To enforce the payment of any charges for repairs to,

or improvements, storage, or care of, any personal

property made or furnished by the Department or its

agents in connection with the operation of an airport,

vertiport, or air navigation facility owned or

operated by the state, the state shall have liens on

such property, which shall be enforceable by the

Department as provided by law.

6. In accepting federal monies under this section, the

Department shall have the same authority to enter into contracts on

behalf of the state as is granted to the Department under paragraph

3 of subsection G of this section with respect to federal monies

accepted on behalf of municipalities. All monies received by the

Department pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the

Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics Revolving Fund in

the State Treasury and shall be paid out of the Department Fund in

accordance with the terms and conditions of any agreement entered

into under the provisions of this section.

7. The Department shall grant no exclusive right for the use of

any airport, vertiport, or air navigation facility under its

contracts, leases, and other arrangements pursuant to paragraph 5 of

this subsection.

I. The Department may enter into any contracts necessary to the

execution of the powers granted it by the Oklahoma Department of

Aerospace and Aeronautics Act. All contracts made by the

Department, either as the agent of the state or as the agent of any

municipality, shall be made pursuant to the laws of the state

governing the making of like contracts. When the planning,

acquisition, construction, improvement, maintenance, or operation of

any airport, vertiport, or air navigation facility is financed

wholly or partially with federal monies, the Department as agent of

the state or of any municipality may let contracts in the manner

prescribed by the federal authorities acting under the laws of the

United States and any rules or regulations made thereunder.

J. 1. The Commission, the Director, or any officer or employee

of the Department designated by it shall have the power to hold

employee of the Department designated by it to hold any inquiry,

investigation, or hearing shall have the power to administer oaths

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports Page 51

and affirmations, certify to all official acts, issue subpoenas, and

order the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production

of papers, books, and documents. In case of the failure of any

person to comply with any subpoena or order issued under the

authority of this subsection, or on the refusal of any witness to

testify to any matters regarding which he may be lawfully

interrogated, it shall be the duty of the district court of any

county or of the judge thereof, on application of the Department or

its authorized representative, to compel obedience by proceedings

for contempt, as in the case of disobedience of the requirements of

a subpoena issued from such court or a refusal to testify therein.

2. In order to facilitate the making of investigations by the

Department in the interest of public safety and promotion of

aeronautics the public interest requires, and it is therefore

provided, that the reports of investigations or hearings, or any

part thereof, shall not be admitted in evidence or used for any

purpose in any suit, action, or proceeding growing out of any matter

referred to in the investigation, hearing, or report thereof, except

in case of any suit, action, or proceeding, civil or criminal,

instituted by or in behalf of the Department or in the name of the

state under the provisions of the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace

and Aeronautics Act or other laws of the state relating to

aeronautics; nor shall any member of the Commission, or the

Director, or any officer or employee of the Department be required

to testify to any facts ascertained in, or information gained by

reason of, such person’s official capacity, or be required to

testify as an expert witness in any suit, action, or proceeding

involving any aircraft. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the

Department may in its discretion make available to appropriate

federal, state and municipal agencies information and material

developed in the course of its investigations and hearings.

K. 1. The Department is authorized to confer with or to hold

joint hearings with any agency of the United States in connection

with any matter arising under the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace

such approval is published in the Federal Register, the Oklahoma

Horse Racing Commission ("Commission") shall license organization

licensees which are licensed pursuant to Section 205.2 of this title

to conduct authorized gaming as that term is defined by this act

pursuant to this act utilizing gaming machines or devices authorized

by this act subject to the limitations of subsection C of this

section. No fair association or organization licensed pursuant to

Section 208.2 of this title or a city, town or municipality

incorporated or otherwise, or an instrumentality thereof, may

conduct authorized gaming as that term is defined by this act.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 941 through 988 of

Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the conducting of and

participation in gaming in accordance with the provisions of this

act or the model compact set forth in Section 281 of this title is

lawful and shall not be subject to any criminal penalties. Provided

further, a licensed manufacturer or distributor licensed pursuant to

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3A. Amusements and Sports Page 60

this act may manufacture, exhibit or store as a lawful activity any

machines or devices which are capable of being used to conduct the

following types of gaming:

1. Gaming authorized by the State-Tribal Gaming Act; or

2. Other gaming which may be lawfully conducted by an Indian

tribe in this state.

B. Except for Christmas Day, authorized gaming may only be

conducted by an organization licensee on days when the licensee is

either conducting live racing or is accepting wagers on simulcast

races at the licensee's racing facilities. Authorized gaming may

only be conducted by organization licensees at enclosure locations

where live racing is conducted. Under no circumstances shall

authorized gaming be conducted by an organization licensee at any

facility outside the organization licensee's racing enclosure. No

person who would not be eligible to be a patron of a pari-mutuel

system of wagering pursuant to the provisions of subsection B of

Section 208.4 of this title shall be admitted into any area of a

facility when authorized games are played nor be permitted to

operate, or obtain a prize from, or in connection with, the

operation of any authorized game, directly or indirectly.

C. In order to encourage the growth, sustenance and development

of live horse racing in this state and of the state's agriculture

and horse industries, the Commission is hereby authorized to issue

licenses to conduct authorized gaming to no more than three

organization licensees operating racetrack locations at which horse

race meetings with pari-mutuel wagering, as authorized by the

Commission pursuant to the provisions of this title, occurred in

calendar year 2001, as follows:

1. An organization licensee operating a racetrack location at

which an organization licensee is licensed to conduct a race meeting

pursuant to the provisions of Section 205.2 of this title located in

a county with a population exceeding six hundred thousand (600,000)

persons, according to the most recent Federal Decennial Census,

shall be licensed to operate not more than six hundred fifty (650)

player terminals in any year. Beginning with the third year after

an organization licensee is licensed pursuant to this paragraph to

operate such player terminals, such licensee may be licensed to

operate an additional fifty (50) player terminals. Beginning with

the fifth year after an organization licensee is licensed pursuant

to this paragraph to operate such player terminals, such licensee

may be licensed to operate a further additional fifty (50) player

terminals; and

2. Two organization licensees operating racetrack locations at

which the organization licensees are licensed to conduct race

meetings pursuant to the provisions of Section 205.2 of this title

located in counties with populations not exceeding four hundred

thousand (400,000) persons, according to the most recent Federal

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3A. Amusements and Sports Page 61

Decennial Census, may each be licensed to operate not more than two

hundred fifty (250) player terminals in any year.

Subject to the limitations on the number of player terminals

permitted to each organization licensee, an organization licensee

may utilize electronic amusement games as defined in this act,

electronic bonanza-style bingo games as defined in this act and

electronic instant bingo games as defined in this act, and any type

of gaming machine or device that is specifically allowed by law and

that an Indian tribe in this state is authorized to utilize pursuant

to a compact entered into between the state and the tribe in

accordance with the provisions of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act

and any other machine or device that an Indian tribe in this state

is lawfully permitted to operate pursuant to the Indian Gaming

Regulatory Act, referred to collectively as "authorized games". An

organization licensee's utilization of such machines or devices

shall be subject to the regulatory control and supervision of the

Commission; provided, the Commission shall have no role in oversight

and regulation of gaming conducted by a tribe subject to a compact.

The Commission shall promulgate rules to regulate the operation and

use of authorized gaming by organization licensees. In promulgating

such rules, the Commission shall consider the provisions of any

compact which authorizes electronic gaming which is specifically

authorized by law by an Indian tribe. For the purpose of paragraphs

1 and 2 of this subsection, the number of player terminals in an

authorized game that permits multiple players shall be determined by

the maximum number of players that can participate in that game at

any given time; provided, however, that nothing in this act

prohibits the linking of player terminals for progressive jackpots,

so long as the limitations on the number of permitted player

terminals at each organization licensee are not exceeded. Each

organization licensee shall keep a record of, and shall report at

least quarterly to the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission, the number

of games authorized by this section utilized in the organization

licensee's facility, by the name or type of each and its identifying

number.

D. No zoning or other local ordinance may be adopted or amended

by a political subdivision where an organization licensee conducts

live horse racing with the intent to restrict or prohibit an

organization licensee's right to conduct authorized gaming at such

location.

E. For purposes of this act, "adjusted gross revenues" means

the total receipts received by an organization licensee from the

play of all authorized gaming minus all monetary payouts.

F. The Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission shall promulgate rules

to regulate, implement and enforce the provisions of this act with

regard to the conduct of authorized gaming by organization

licensees; provided, regulation and oversight of games covered by a

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3A. Amusements and Sports Page 62

compact and operated by an Indian tribe shall be conducted solely

pursuant to the requirements of the compact.

G. If an organization licensee operates or attempts to operate

more player terminals which offer authorized games than it is

authorized to offer to the public by this act or the terms of its

license, upon written notice from the Commission, such activity

shall cease forthwith. Such activity shall constitute a basis upon

which the Commission may suspend or revoke the licensee's license.

The Commission shall promulgate any rules and regulations necessary

to enforce the provisions of this subsection.

H. This act is game-specific and shall not be construed to

allow the operation of any other form of gaming unless specifically

allowed by this act. This act shall not permit the operation of

slot machines, house-banked card games, house-banked table games

involving dice or roulette wheels, or games where winners are

determined by the outcome of a sports contest.

A. 1. The Oklahoma Space Industry Development Authority may

provide by resolution, at one time or from time to time, for the

issuance of revenue bonds of the Authority for the purpose of paying

all or any part of the cost of any one or more projects. The

Authority, when it finds that it would be economical and beneficial

to do so, may combine two or more, or any part thereof, or all of

its proposed projects into one unit and consider the same as one

project to the same extent and with like effect as if the same were

a single project.

2. The principal of and the interest on the bonds shall be

payable solely from the funds provided for such payment. The bonds

of each issue shall be dated, shall bear interest at such rate or

rates not exceeding the limitations pertaining to public trust

indebtedness from time to time expressed in subsection F of Section

or times not exceeding forty (40) years from their date or dates, as

may be determined by the Authority, and may be made redeemable

prices and pursuant to such terms and conditions as may be fixed by

the Authority prior to the issuance of the bonds.

3. The Authority shall determine the form of the bonds,

including any interest coupons to be attached thereto, and the

manner of execution of the bonds, and shall fix the denomination or

denominations of the bonds and the place or places of payment of

principal and interest, which may be at any bank or trust company

within or without the state.

4. If any officer whose signature or facsimile of whose

signature appears on any bonds or coupons shall cease to be the

officer before the delivery of the bonds, the signature or the

facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all

purposes the same as if the person had remained in office until such

delivery.

5. All bonds issued pursuant to the provisions of this act

shall have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments

subject to the negotiable instruments law of this state. The bonds

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports Page 146

The Authority may sell the bonds in such amounts and in such manner,

either at public or private sale, and for such price, as it may

B. The proceeds of the bonds of each issue shall be used solely

for the payment of the cost of the project for which the bonds have

been issued, and shall be disbursed in such manner and pursuant to

such restrictions, if any, as the Authority may provide in the

agreement securing the same. If the proceeds of the bonds of any

issue, by error of estimates or otherwise, shall be less than such

cost, additional bonds may in like manner be issued to provide the

amount of such deficit, and, unless otherwise provided for in the

resolution authorizing the issuance of such bonds or in the trust

agreement securing the same, shall be deemed to be of the same issue

and shall be entitled to payment from the same fund without

preference or priority of the bonds first issued. If the proceeds

of the bonds of any issue shall exceed such cost, the surplus shall

be deposited to the credit of the sinking fund for such bonds, or

shall be used by the Authority in implementing any other power

expressly granted to the Authority in this act.

C. Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the Authority,

subject to like restrictions, may issue interim receipts or

the Oklahoma Statutes.

D. The Authority is hereby authorized to provide that the

bonds:

purchase by the owner provided a credit facility supports such

bonds, unless the Authority specifically determines that a credit

facility is not required;

the Authority.

E. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the

agreement, provided, that any such repayment agreement shall provide

that the obligation of the Authority thereunder shall have only such

sources of payment as are permitted for the payment of the bonds

issued under this act; and

2. "Par formula" means any provision or formula adopted by the

Authority to provide for the adjustment, from time to time, of the

interest rate or rates borne by any such bonds so that the purchase

K. For purposes of this act a "recipient licensee" means an

organization licensee operating a racetrack location at which an

organization licensee is licensed to conduct a race meeting pursuant

to the provisions of Section 208.2 of this title located in a county

with a population exceeding five hundred thousand (500,000) persons,

according to the most recent Federal Decennial Census, and a

"participating tribe" means a tribe which operates a gaming facility

within a radius of twenty (20) miles from the enclosure of a

recipient licensee pursuant to a compact set forth in Section 281 of

this title. Such compact shall require that a participating tribe

contribute a percentage of its "monthly average take" from

electronic amusement games, electronic bonanza-style bingo games and

electronic instant bingo games (hereinafter referred to collectively

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3A. Amusements and Sports Page 70

as "electronic covered games") as defined in that tribe's Gaming

Compact as long as the prohibition against fair associations or

organizations licensed pursuant to Section 208.2 of this title

conducting authorized gaming under this act as set forth in

subsection A of Section 262 of this title remains in effect.

Participating tribes shall make contributions in accordance with the

following requirements:

1. Each participating tribe shall calculate its monthly average

take for electronic covered games for each calendar month of

operation of electronic covered games. For purposes of this

paragraph, the "monthly average take" shall mean all adjusted gross

revenue from electronic covered games at the tribal gaming

facilities that are located within a radius of twenty (20) miles

from the enclosure of a recipient licensee during the applicable

calendar month, divided by the number of electronic covered games

operated by the tribe at the gaming facility during the applicable

calendar month;

2. Each participating tribe shall calculate its pro rata share

of the payments required by this subsection, based on the number of

electronic covered games in the tribal gaming facilities within the

twenty-mile radius described in paragraph 1 of this subsection,

during the applicable calendar month ("tribal share"). As an

example only, if three (3) tribes participate in this subsection

during a calendar month, and have the respective number of games in

the amount of 500, 1,000, and 1,000, then the payments called for in

paragraph 3 of this subsection would be multiplied by twenty percent

(20%), forty percent (40%) and forty percent (40%) to determine each

tribe's pro rata share; and

3. Each participating tribe shall make the following payments

no later than the fifteenth day following the end of the applicable

calendar month, with the first payment to be due no later than the

fifteenth day following the end of the first month in which a

participating tribe commences gaming operations pursuant to the

compact set out in Section 281 of this title:

a. the tribe shall pay its pro rata share of the product

of 450 multiplied by .05 multiplied by the greater of

Seven Thousand Four Hundred Eight Dollars ($7,408.00)

or the tribe's monthly average take for the applicable

month to the recipient licensee, and

b. the tribe shall pay its pro rata share of the product

of 450 multiplied by .25 multiplied by the tribe's

monthly average take for the applicable month to the

Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission to be used as

directed by purse committees for the following

purposes:

(1) distributed to organization licensees for purses

for participating horses,

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3A. Amusements and Sports Page 71

(2) paid to the Oklahoma Breeding Development Fund

Special Account. The amount designated for

deposit into the Oklahoma Breeding Development

Fund Special Account shall never be less than

nine percent (9%) of the funds generated nor more

than thirty-three percent (33%) of the total

designated funds for horsemen participating in

any race meeting, and

(3) paid to the official horsemen's representatives

and to the breeding organizations designated by

the official horsemen's representatives and to

the breeding organizations designated by the

official horsemen's representatives to be used to

pay their administrative expenses and to fund

their benevolence programs. In no event shall

the amount designated for such administrative

expenses exceed one percent (1%) of the funds

generated nor shall the monies designated for

benevolence programs exceed five-tenths of one

percent (0.5%) of the funds generated.

L. The "purse committees" shall be comprised of the official

elected horsemen representatives for each breed as designated in

Section 267 of this title. The total contribution of the

participating tribes made pursuant to subparagraph b of paragraph 3

of subsection K of this section shall be distributed as directed by

the purse committees based on the following formula, to wit: fifty

percent (50%) by the purse committee representing Thoroughbred

horses; forty percent (40%) by the purse committee representing

Quarter Horses; and ten percent (10%) by the purse committee

representing Paint and Appaloosa horses.

The purse committees shall meet at least sixty (60) days prior

to the beginning of a calendar year to provide directions for

placement of the purse funds described in subparagraph b of

paragraph 3 of subsection K of this section with one or more

organization licensees for the succeeding calendar year. In

most recent federal decennial census, at a level that is competitive

with the purse structures of similarly situated racetracks,

including those in surrounding states, and that will encourage the

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3A. Amusements and Sports Page 72

participation by horsemen in that organization licensee's race meet

or meets; and

SECOND. Maintaining the purse structures of the organization

licensee closest in geographic proximity to the location where the

purse funds described in subparagraph b of paragraph 3 of subsection

participation by horsemen in that organization licensee's race meet

or meets; and

THIRD. Maintaining the purse structures of the remaining

organization licensees in the state at a level that will encourage

the participation by horsemen in those organization licensees' race

meet or meets.

M. Organization licensees shall keep accurate books and records

of all revenue generated by any gaming conducted pursuant to the

State-Tribal Gaming Act and of the taxes paid pursuant to the

provisions of this section. The Oklahoma Tax Commission or an

authorized representative shall have access at all reasonable times

to such records for the purpose of examining and checking the

records and ascertaining whether the proper amount of taxes is being

paid. The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall require verified reports

and a statement of the total of all revenue generated by any gaming

conducted by an organization licensee pursuant to the provisions of

the State-Tribal Gaming Act.

N. The Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission is hereby authorized to

provide repayment of amounts collected pursuant to paragraph 2 of

subsections A through G of this section on a pro rata basis to be

authority of the state or a municipality to regulate airport hazards

by zoning.

4. The Department may exercise any powers granted by this

section jointly with any municipalities or with the United States.

5. a. In operating an airport, vertiport, or air navigation

vertiport, or air navigation facility owned or

controlled by the state; provided, that no such person

shall be granted any authority to operate the airport,

vertiport, or air navigation facility other than as a

public airport, vertiport, or air navigation facility

or to enter into any contracts, leases, or other

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports Page 44

arrangements in connection with the operation of the

airport, vertiport or air navigation facility which

the Department might not have undertaken under

subparagraph a of this paragraph.

c. To enforce the payment of any charges for repairs to,

or improvements, storage, or care of, any personal

the execution of the powers granted it by the Oklahoma Department of

Aerospace and Aeronautics Act. All contracts made by the

Department, either as the agent of the state or as the agent of any

governing the making of like contracts. When the planning,

acquisition, construction, improvement, maintenance, or operation of

any airport, vertiport, or air navigation facility is financed

wholly or partially with federal monies, the Department as agent of

the state or of any municipality may let contracts in the manner

prescribed by the federal authorities acting under the laws of the

United States and any rules or regulations made thereunder.
