§ 34

(a) The Illinois State Police shall enforce the racing statutes of the State and provide investigative services during all horse racing meetings conducted in this State. Each licensee shall provide and maintain his own security personnel. (b) Each licensee shall submit a request for the investigative services to the Illinois State Police. The Illinois State Police shall determine each licensee's pro rata share of the Department's expenses for investigative services rendered to race tracks on a fiscal year basis, and bill each licensee, except the Illinois Department of Agriculture or their contractor, for such expenses. Upon receipt of such billing, the licensee shall pay the amount billed into the Agricultural Premium Fund. It shall be the duty of the General Assembly in subsequent years to review the operation of the Illinois State Police and make consistent increases or, if the situation necessitates, decreases in the number of personnel necessary in order to fully assure that the Illinois State Police is at such a strength as to effectively carry out the purposes of this Act.
