Sec. 7. (a) As used in this section, "live racing day" means a day on which at least eight (8) live horse races are conducted.
(b) Upon request by a permit holder from time to time, the commission may authorize the permit holder to conduct pari-mutuel wagering at the permit holder's racetrack on televised simulcasts of horse races from other racetracks in Indiana or in other states or countries where horse racing and wagering are permitted by law. In addition, the commission may authorize the permit holder to conduct pari-mutuel wagering at the permit holder's racetrack on races from racetracks that have entered into a simulcasting contract with the permit holder even if the races are conducted during a time when the permit holder's racetrack is not open. The commission may adopt rules regarding simulcasting. A permit holder that conducts at least one hundred twenty (120) live racing days annually may request an unlimited number of days of simulcasting per year. However, the requirement for one hundred twenty (120) live racing days does not apply if the commission determines that the permit holder is prevented from conducting live horse racing as a result of a natural disaster or other event over which the permit holder has no control. In addition, if the initial racing meeting conducted by a permit holder commences at such a time as to make it impractical to conduct one hundred twenty (120) live racing days during the permit holder's first year of operations, the commission may authorize the permit holder to conduct simulcast wagering during the first year of operations with fewer than one hundred twenty (120) live racing days. A permit holder that conducts fewer than one hundred twenty (120) live racing days annually may request permission to conduct simulcasting only during the hours on a racing day when racing is being conducted at the permit holder's racetrack. The televised simulcasts must comply with the Interstate Horse Racing Act of 1978 (15 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.).
(c) A permit holder that conducts simulcasts on a day that is not a live racing day may not simulcast races conducted in other states unless the permit holder also simulcasts all available races conducted in Indiana on that day.

(2) Allow pari-mutuel pools in other states to be combined with pari-mutuel pools in Indiana for the purpose of establishing an interstate combined wagering pool.

(i) Pari-mutuel taxes or commissions may not be imposed on any amounts wagered in an interstate combined wagering pool other than amounts wagered in Indiana.
(j) Breakage for interstate combined wagering pools shall be calculated in accordance with the statutes or rules of the host jurisdiction and must be distributed among the participating jurisdictions in a manner agreed to among the jurisdictions.
