§267-A. Operating account for the commission 
1. Account established. An operating account for the commission, referred to in 
this section as "the operating account," is established as a dedicated, nonlapsing fund. 
Funds in the operating account may be allocated and expended only for the purposes of 
funding the operations of the commission. The fund may not be charged for indirect

B. All fees collected by the commission pursuant to section 271:-2';'5-0 and 279-A; 
and 
C. Any funds allocated or appropriated to the operating account. 
3. Additional revenue needs. Using the total legislative allocation of the operating 
account for the fiscal year and the revenue received and anticipated under subsection 2, 
the commission shall calculate the amount of additional revenue needed, referred to in 
this section as "the shortfall," to equal the total legislative allocation. This calculation 
must be made at least annually and more frequently if needed. 
4. Administrative assessments. The following funds, referred to collectively in this

5. Calculation and transfer of administrative assessment. The commission shall 
establish by rule an administrative assessment that when applied to each of the assessed

percentage of the revenue each fund receives under section 1036. An assessment may be 
made on a monthly basis. The commission shall certify the amounts to be assessed on

shall certify the amounts to be advanced from each of the assessed funds to the Treasurer 
of State, who shall transfer those amounts to the operating account. 
The commission shall credit against future assessments calculated under subsection 5 any 
amounts advanced as a working capital advance under this subsection.

COMMITTEE AMENDMENT 
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT "8" to H.P. 1547, L.D. 2173 
I 
2. Commercial meet account. The Treasurer of State shall deposit in a commercial 
meet account 72% of the revenue credited to the General Fund operating account under 
this section that is attributable to amounts in excess of $35,000,000. This account must 
be divided in the proportion that the contributions of regular and exotic wagers of pari-
mutuel pools on live racing made or conducted at the commercial meets of each licensee 
during the calendar year bear to the total contributions of regular and exotic wagers to 
pari-mutuel pools on live racing made or conducted at the commercial meets of all 
licensees during that calendar year. Licensees sharing in this distribution shall use 112 of 
the funds received for the purpose of supplementing purse money. The other 112 of this 
distribution must be paid to the commercial licensees as reimbursement for improvements 
II 
made to their racing facilities in the calendar year during which the funds are generated 
or, beginning January 1, 2000, during the prior year. 
To receive reimbursement, 
commercial licensees must submit plans for the improvements to the commission and 
receive approval from the commission prior to making the improvements, and the 
commission must verify that the approved improvements have been made. 
3. Payment to Stipend Fund. Nine percent of the revenue credited to the General 
FuOO operating account under this section that is attributable to amounts in excess of 
$35,000,000 must be distributed to the Stipend Fund as provided in Title 7, section 86. 
4. Sire Stakes Fund. Nine percent of the revenue credited to the General Fund 
operating account under this section that is attributable to amounts in excess of 
$35,000,000 must be paid to the commission to be credited to the Sire Stakes Fund as 
provided in section 281. 
5. Definition. For the purposes of this section, "improvements" means the amount 
paid out for new buildings or for permanent improvements made to improve the facilities 
utilized by the licensee for conducting its racing meetings; or the amount expended in 
restoring property or in improving the facility or any part of the facility that results in the 
addition, replacement or substantial enhancement or restoration of a fixed asset or of a 
movable asset that is important to efficient operation of the racing meetings. In general, 
the amounts referred to as improvements include amounts paid that add to the value, 
improve or substantially prolong the useful life of the racetrack and moveable assets 
utilized by the licensee for conducting its racing meetings. Amounts paid or incurred for 
routine repairs and maintenance of property, interest expense or lease payments in 
connection with the capital improvements are not improvements within the meaning of 
this section. 
In order to qualify as an improvement, a substantial enhancement or 
restoration of an asset must cost at least $2,000 and must be an expenditure that would 
qualify for depreciation under the United States Internal Revenue Code. A moveable 
asset may be considered important to the efficient operation of a race meeting if the asset 
will remain at the commercial track or at the offices of the licensee throughout its use and 
if that asset is directly associated with running races, accommodating patrons of the race 
meet, conducting pari-mutuel wagering or paying purses. 
6. Timing of payment. Payment under this section must be made no later than 7 
days after each race and must be accompanied by a report under oath showing the total of 
all contributions to pari-mutuel pools covered by the report and other information the 
commission requires. 
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT 
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT "8" to H.P. 1547, L.D. 2173 
7. Interim payments to commercial tracks. If during the course of any calendar 
year the commission finds that wagers placed at facilities licensed under this chapter for 
the year are likely to exceed $35,000,000, it may, if reasonably necessary for 
improvements to be effected expeditiously, direct the Treasurer of State to make interim 
payments to a commercial track in amounts as the commission finds the commercial track 
is likely to be entitled to receive under this section. If a commercial track receives 
interim payments under this subsection that exceed the total amount the commercial track 
is entitled to receive for the calendar year, the Treasurer of State shall reimburse the 
General Fund operating account for this excess by retaining money otherwise due to that 
commercial track pursuant to section 295.

the fund remain in the fund and must be disbursed in accordance with this section, except 
that assessments and advances may be withdrawn in accordance with section 267-A. 
Sec. G-13. Transition; working capital advance. Notwithstanding any other 
provision in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 8, section 267-A, the Harness Racing 
Commission may assess a working capital advance under Title 8, section 267-A, 
subsection 6 in an amount not to exceed $110,000, pending the adoption of rules under 
Title 8, section 267-A, subsection 7. The commission shall certify the amounts to be 
assessed to the Treasurer of State, who shall transfer those amounts from each of the

limitations provided in this paragraph.

the excess negative modification must be carried to the earliest of the taxable years to 
which, by reason of this subsection, the negative modification may be carried and 
then to each of the other taxable years to the extent the unused negative modification 
is not used for a prior taxable year. Earlier carry-forward modifications must be used 
before newer modifications generated in later years; aHd
