§3A-205.7.
   
   A. The Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission may authorize an organization
   licensee to accept wagers on the results of out-of-state full racing
   programs for simulcast races as follows:
   
   1. On days when the organization licensee is conducting live racing,
   the licensee may accept wagers on not more than two out-of-state full
   racing programs during the hours when it is conducting live racing,
   and may accept wagers on the results of not more than four
   out-of-state full racing programs during the hours it is not
   conducting live racing; and
   
   2. a. On days when the organization licensee is not conducting live
   racing, the licensee may accept wagers on the results of not more than
   six out-of-state full racing programs, provided that the number of
   days, not included in its race meeting, which an organization licensee
   may be authorized to accept wagering pursuant to this paragraph is
   limited to fifty percent (50%) of the number of days the licensee
   conducts live racing;
   
   b. notwithstanding the limitations contained in subparagraph a of this
   paragraph, an organization licensee may accept wagers on races run at
   any racetrack licensed by the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission, and
   may accept wagers on the out-of-state full racing programs received by
   said racetrack;
   
   3. On days when the licensee is conducting live racing, the Oklahoma
   Horse Racing Commission may authorize the organization licensee to
   accept wagers on individual out-of-state simulcast races in addition
   to the out-of-state full racing programs.
   
   B. For purposes of this section, fifty percent (50%) or more of the
   races being run at an out-of-state track constitutes a full racing
   program. The authorization provided in subsection A of this section
   must comply with federal laws including, but not limited to, Chapter
   57 of Title 15 of the United States Code.
   
   C. Wagers on out-of-state races conducted pursuant to the provisions
   of this section may be placed in a separate pari-mutuel pool or pools,
   or may be combined with the pari-mutuel pool or pools of the track
   where the race is run, or may be combined with other organization
   licensees licensed by the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission and their
   wagering facilities located within this state.
   
   D. Each organization licensee accepting wagers on an out-of-state race
   shall deduct a percentage of the amount handled which is equal to the
   percentage deducted from the amount handled by the organization
   licensee in pari-mutuel pools at the race meeting or meetings held by
   the organization licensee if the wagers on the out-of-state races are
   not being combined with the pari-mutuel pool or pools where the race
   or races are being run.
   
   E. For the day on which the out-of-state race is offered, each
   organization licensee shall pay the state share of the organization
   licensee at the rate applicable to the races of the racing program of
   the organization licensee.
   
   F. Breakage and unclaimed ticket proceeds shall be distributed in the
   manner applicable to the races of the racing program of the
   organization licensee.
   
   G. Except as otherwise provided by law, the amount remaining from the
   deduction pursuant to the provisions of subsection D of this section
   after payment of the state share and the contractual payment to the
   out-of-state host racing organization, shall be distributed as
   follows:
   
   1. Fifty percent (50%) to the organization licensee; and
   
   2. Fifty percent (50%) to the organization licensee to be distributed
   as purses.
   
   H. An organization licensee accepting wagers on out-of-state full
   racing programs pursuant to subsection A of this section shall, for
   any year in which it intends to accept such out-of-state full racing
   programs, make application to the Commission for not less than eighty
   percent (80%) of the number of live racing days awarded for each race
   meeting to that licensee in 1996.
   
   I. Notwithstanding subsection H of this section, any organization
   licensee may apply for less than the eighty percent (80%) of the
   number of live race days for a designated race meeting awarded to the
   licensee in 1996 if such application is approved by the organization
   licensee's official horsemen's representative at that designated race
   meeting.
   
   J. One-tenth of one percent (1/10 of 1%) of the total monies wagered
   at the racing enclosure on out-of-state simulcast races shall be
   remitted by the organization licensee from the amount retained
   pursuant to this section to the State Auditor and Inspector for the
   purpose of auditing racing facilities.
