Section 313.562 - Requires a licensee to prove by clear and convincing evidence that it is not guilty of violations. The act provides a list of grounds for disciplinary and legal action. The Commission may license an applicant to operate one or more race tracks and no more than one associated pari-mutuel facility. The Commission is required to determine whether associated pari-mutuel facilities, where simulcasting is allowed, are in the public interest and that such facilities are economically feasible. Applicants for licensing must be either residents of Missouri or incorporated, formed or organized in the state.
Licenses are valid unless revoked for cause.
Public funds, eminent domain, and tax increment financing are prohibited to buy, build, or operate any privately owned race meeting grounds or associated pari-mutuel wagering facilities. If an applicant is denied a license, a refund of the difference between the fee and the investigation costs is required. Good faith affirmative action efforts are required of all applicants. The system may be physically located outside the state. The act specifies requirements for associated pari-mutuel wagering system operators.
