Item 1

 
within 15 miles of an off-track betting facility, except as a
result of the relocation of the off-track betting facility, then
the total number of video lottery terminals that may be located
at those facilities at those facilities must be the same number
that would be located at those facilities if the licensees under
this chapter were not in such proximity and, unless the
licensees agree otherwise, the video lottery terminals must be
apportioned between the licensees as follows:

 
A.__If the commercial track is located within 15 miles of
but more than 10 miles from the off-track betting
facility, the off-track betting facility must be allocated
20% of the total number of video lottery terminals
allocated to both facilities;

 
B.__If the commercial track is located within 10 miles of
but more than 5 miles from the off-track betting facility,
the off-track betting facility must be allocated 25% of
the total number of video lottery terminals allocated to
both facilities; or

 
C.__If the commercial track is located within 5 miles of
the off-track betting facility, the off-track betting
facility must be allocated 33% of the total number of
video lottery terminals allocated to both facilities.

 
A licensee may operate video lottery terminals on any day
during the calendar year but, in the case of a commercial
track, only at the commercial track itself except as expressly
provided in subsection 8 and, in the case of an off-track
betting facility, only at the off-track betting facility
itself.

 
5.__Terminals located; prohibit persons under 18 years of
age.__A licensee under this chapter shall prohibit persons
under 21 years of age from any area in which a video lottery
terminal is located, except that persons 18 to 20 years of age
may be present if directly employed by the licensee or a video
lottery terminal distributor.

 
6.__Uniform location agreement.__Each video lottery terminal
is subject to a uniform location agreement between the video
lottery terminal distributor and the licensee under this
chapter.__A copy of the agreement must be submitted to the
commission.__The uniform location agreement is the complete
and sole agreement between the licensee and the video lottery
terminal distributor regarding video lottery terminals.__No
other agreement between the licensee and the video lottery
terminal distributor is legally binding.
