    54-2514A.  DOG RACING ILLEGAL AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ACT. On and
after the effective date of this act, live dog races and pari-mutuel betting
on such races or the training of dogs to compete in live dog races shall be
illegal in the state of Idaho. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to
the contrary, the provisions of this section shall not be deemed to alter or
affect simulcasts and simulcast pari-mutuel wagering at a facility that was
licensed  and authorized prior to January 1, 1996, to conduct live dog races
and pari-mutuel wagering on them prior to the effective date of this act, and
horse and dog race simulcasts and pari-mutuel wagering on such simulcasts may
be conducted at that facility, or at an alternate facility in the same county
and approved by the commission as if the facility were still licensed and
under the same conditions and restrictions imposed by law on a licensee. Under
no circumstances shall the provisions of this section or section 54-2512,
Idaho Code, be used to grant more than one (1) license to conduct simulcast
pari-mutuel wagering in any county. Any person participating or conducting a
live dog race or pari-mutuel betting on such a live dog race or the training
of dogs to compete in live dog races in violation of this section shall be
guilty of a felony.
