Senators narrowly passed a bill May 18 that clarifies the terms of members of the State Racing Commission and attempts to assist Lincoln\u2019s horse racing industry.<\/p>\n
Introduced by Wilber Sen. Russ Karpisek to harmonize the terms of two new State Racing Commission members, LB256 includes provisions of LB299, also introduced by Karpisek.<\/p>\n
The bill allows a racetrack licensee to contract with another licensee to conduct all but one day of live race meetings on its behalf, and allows a racetrack licensee in a county with a city of the primary class to contract with another licensee to conduct all live race meetings on its behalf.<\/p>\n
Lincoln is the state\u2019s only primary class city.<\/p>\n
LB256 passed on a 26-17 vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
