(4) If a parimutuel licensee has not held live races pursuant to a schedule approved by the Kansas racing and gaming commission in the preceding 12 months, the Kansas racing and gaming commission shall hold a hearing to determine the number of days of live racing required for the remaining days of the first calendar year of operation to qualify for operation of electronic gaming machines. At such hearing, the commission shall receive testimony and evidence from affected breed groups, the licensee and others, as the Kansas racing and gaming commission deems appropriate concerning the schedule of live race days. The operation of electronic gaming machines shall not commence more than 90 days prior to the start of live racing at such facility.
(b) The Kansas racing and gaming commission may not grant exceptions to the requirements of subsection (a) for a parimutuel licensee conducting live racing unless such exception is in the form of an agreement which: (1) Is between the parimutuel licensee and the affected recognized greyhound or recognized horsemen's group, as defined in K.S.A. 74-8802, and amendments thereto; (2) has been approved by the appropriate official breed registering agencies; and (3) has been submitted to and approved by the commission. In the case of emergencies, weather related issues or immediate circumstances beyond the control of the licensee, the Kansas racing and gaming commission may grant an exception.
