Amend CSHB 1445 by adding the following SECTION,
appropriately numbered:
      SECTION ____.  Section 8.01, Texas Racing Act (Article 179e,
Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes) is amended to read as follows:
      Section 8.01
      The commission shall allocate the live and simulcast racing
days for the conduct of live and simulcast wagering at each
racetrack licensed under this Act. Each racetrack shall accord
reasonable access to races for all breeds of horses as determined
by the racetrack through negotiations with the representative state
breed registry with the final approval of the commission, provided,
that for every 2 thoroughbred racing days allocated at a class I
track, at least one quarter horse racing day, or the number of
races equivalent to one racing day, shall also be allocated at the
track during the same calendar year. In granting approval, the
commission shall consider the factors of availability of
competitive horses, economic feasibility, and public interest. In
allocating race dates under this section, the commission shall
consider live race dates separately from simulcast race dates. The
commission may prohibit Sunday racing unless the prohibition would
conflict with another provision of this Act.
