Parimutuel plan endorsed to launch Kansas racing act
The Special Committee on Federal and State Affairs endorsed a Kansas Pari Mutuel Racing Act creating a five member racing commission to license track operators and oversee gambling on horse and dog racing. The bill, advancing to the 1987 Legislature, sets licenses at 5000 with daily 200 fees, a 10 percent gate tax, and a tiered takeout with 18 percent to public prizes and 9 percent to track owners.
