    On page 7, after line 29, strike all of subsection (8) and insert the following:

    "(8) This section does not establish a new form of gaming in Washington or allow expanded gaming within the state beyond what has been previously authorized.  This section is necessary to protect the Washington equine breeding and racing industries.  The purpose of this section is to protect live horseracing and promote fan attendance at class I racing facilities.  Therefore, imported simulcast race card programs shall not be disseminated to any location outside the live racing facility of the class I racing association and tribal-state compacts for class III gaming shall not be amended based upon this section."
