TITLE 15--COMMERCE AND TRADE
CHAPTER 57--INTERSTATE HORSERACING
Sec. 3005. Liability and damages
Any person accepting any interstate off-track wager in violation of
this chapter shall be civilly liable for damages to the host State, the
host racing association and the horsemen's group. Damages for each
violation shall be based on the total of off-track wagers as follows:
(1) If the interstate off-track wager was of a type accepted at
the host racing association, damages shall be in an amount equal to
that portion of the takeout which would have been distributed to the
host State, host racing association and the horsemen's group, as if
each such interstate off-track wager had been placed at the host
racing association.
(2) If such interstate off-track wager was of a type not
accepted at the host racing association, the amount of damages shall
be determined at the rate of takeout prevailing at the off-track
betting system for that type of wager and shall be distributed
according to the same formulas as in paragraph (1) above.
