STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 14545
The purpose of this act is to prevent the loss of monies paid annually to
the public school income fund, Idaho Fair Circuit, Kootenai County,
horse owners and breeders and the State Racing Commission by the
Greyhond Park and Events Center at Post Falls in the event that property
is converted to other uses by the present or subsequent owners.
FISCAL IMPACT
Passage of this act creates no negative fiscal impact on either state or
local government. However without these amendments to 54-2514A if
simulcast wagering operations are ceased because of a change in
ownership or use of the present facility, average annual payments to the
Idaho Racing Commission of $161,081, Horse Breed Account $44,200,
Small Track Fund $43,944, Public School Income Fund $12,464, the
Equine Account $17,795, Horse Owners & Breeders $$6,l08, Kootenai
County $12,215 and purse payments to HBPA of $277,753 would be
discontinued representing an average, annual total loss of $575,560.
