2004 House Bill 5881 ↩

House Roll Call 560: Passed

To repeal the law against a single entity owning more than one horse racing track. This would allow the owner of the Great Lakes Downs track in Muskegon to build a new track near Romulus in Wayne County. See House Bills 4609 and 4610, which would authorize slot machines at Michigan racetracks ("racinos"). Also, to require that the various horse racing track licenses and permits required under state law be either granted or denied within 90 days of a person filing an application. The state would have to notify an applicant within 30 days if an application is not “administratively complete”.
