(a)
An organization described in Section 19608.2 has executed an agreement approved by the board with the association conducting a racing meeting and the satellite wagering facility. The agreement shall provide, among other things, for all of the following:
(1)
The conditions for transmission of the signal.
(2)
That the wagers made at the satellite wagering facility will be included in the appropriate conventional or exotic pool at the racetrack where the racing meeting is conducted.
(3)
The agreement of the parties, if any, respecting the payment of fees or charges by one party to the other in substitution of, or in addition or supplemental to, the distributions of the amount deducted pursuant to the first paragraph of either Section 19605.7 or Section 19605.71. The agreement as to the payment of those fees or charges shall not operate to increase or reduce the amounts otherwise payable from the amount handled pursuant to this article, other than to a party to the agreement. Any dispute relating to the amount of fees or charges to be paid by any party as a condition of receiving the live audiovisual signal from an association or fair may be appealed to the board. However, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to require an association or fair to execute an agreement.
(b)
The accommodations and equipment used in conducting wagering at the satellite wagering facility and their location have been approved by the board.
(c)
The communications system, technology and method used by the satellite wagering facility to accept wagers and transmit odds, results, and other data related to wagering has been approved by the board.
(d)
(1)
Any association or fair that operates a satellite wagering facility shall conduct wagering on all racing that is offered to the satellite wagering facility, except as otherwise provided in Section 19607.5 with respect to the northern zone, as long as the satellite wagering facility is not sustaining a loss on either a day meeting or night meeting, as determined by the board, and, if sustaining a loss on either a day meeting or night meeting, as long as the satellite wagering facility is reimbursed for that loss by either an organization described in Section 19608.2 or an association. Any association that operates a satellite wagering facility may, but is not required to, accept an audiovisual signal. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, an association that conducts a racing meeting and a fair that operates a satellite wagering facility may agree to provide an audiovisual signal and to accept wagering on less than all of the races. Acceptance of the audiovisual signal may be on such terms and conditions, including the payment of fees and charges, subject to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), as the parties may mutually agree.
(2)
In calculating the loss, if any, for operating a satellite wagering facility for a night meeting, only the expenses incurred by the satellite wagering facility because of the acceptance of night wagers shall be considered, and no overhead expenses or expenses of the satellite wagering facility which would be incurred regardless of the acceptance of night wagers shall be considered.
(e)
Notwithstanding any other law or any agreement under subdivision (a), for purposes of determining license fees and breakage at the racetrack where the racing meeting is conducted, wagers at a satellite wagering facility shall not be included in the conventional or exotic pools of the association conducting the racing meeting.
(f)
The horsemen’s organization that represents the horsemen at the association that conducts the racing meeting on which wagers are accepted consents to the acceptance of wagers at the satellite wagering facility, except that the association or fair operating the satellite wagering facility may appeal the withholding of consent to the board that may determine that consent is not required.
