Article 78B - Racing Commission

16.

(d) Notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (a) of

this section, the State tax of [5.50] 3.50 percent is not payable

by the Maryland State Fair and Agricultural Society, Incorporated
for days of racing being run by the Society at the Timonium Track

on any dates when the Maryland State Fair is being conducted. On

these dates all of the other provisions of this section are

applicable, except as provided in this subsection.

DRAFTER'S NOTE:

Error: Incorrect percentage in Article 78B, § 16(d).

Occurred: As a result of the concurrent codification
of Ch. 682, Acts of 1979, which added subsection (d),
and Ch. 683, Acts of 1979, which changed the tax in
subsection (a) from 5.50 percent to 3.50 percent.

17.

(a) In addition to the licensing of racing, the Commission
may issue licenses for the holding of trotting and pacing
meetings at which there may be offered stakes, purses or awards,
and at which there may be exercised pari-mutuel betting
privileges, to not more than three racing associations. The
Commission shall have supervisory powers over such meetings and
those licensed in the same manner and to the same extent, where
not inappropriate, as it has by virtue of the provisions of this
article over those licensed under the provisions of §§ 7 and 15
of this article, provided, however, that under this section not
more than one license with pari-mutuel betting privileges shall
be issued in any county or in Baltimore City and that no such
license shall be issued hereafter in Carroll COUNTY, Dorchester
COUNTY, Frederick COUNTY, Montgomery COUNTY, or Wicomico
[Counties] COUNTY.
