For holders of Category 1 licenses, an amount not less than $5,000,000 over the initial five-year period following the initial issuance of a Category 1 slot machine license and an amount not less than $250,000 nor more than $1,000,000 per year for five years thereafter shall be deposited by each licensee into a segregated account and used for improvement and maintenance of the backside area and related buildings and structures at the racetrack at which the licensee operates. The licensed racing entity designee and the designee of the recognized horsemen's organization at each racetrack shall jointly consider the appropriate amount of the funds and how the money shall be spent at the racetrack. Disputes involving the amount and expenditure of funds under this section shall be resolved by the State Horse Racing Commission or the State Harness Racing Commission, whichever is appropriate, which shall oversee the use of these funds. Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, a licensed racing entity that has not previously conducted live racing and is constructing a new racetrack, backside area and related buildings and structures that can establish to the satisfaction of the board that the licensed racing entity has spent no less than $5,000,000 in the construction of the new racetrack's backside area, related buildings and structures shall not be subject to the expenditures required by this section until the tenth year after the completion of such construction at the new racetrack. The board may extend the time frame for distributions under this section for a newly constructed racetrack for up to an additional two years if, upon inspection, either the State Horse Racing Commission or the State Harness Racing Commission, whichever is applicable, determines that the physical condition of the backside area and related buildings and structures of the racetrack is sufficient to protect the health and safety of backside employees.
