  1 14 operate a gambling game operation on an excursion
  1 15 gambling boat.  The applicant shall provide
  1 16 information on a form as required by the division of
  1 17 criminal investigation.  A qualified sponsoring
  1 18 organization licensed to operate gambling games under
  1 19 this chapter shall distribute the receipts of all
  1 20 gambling games, less reasonable expenses, charges,
  1 21 taxes, fees, and deductions allowed under this
  1 22 chapter, as winnings to players or participants or
  1 23 shall distribute the receipts for educational, civic,
  1 24 public, charitable, patriotic, or religious uses as
  1 25 defined in section 99B.7, subsection 3, paragraph "b".
  1 26 However, if a licensee who is also licensed to conduct
  1 27 pari-mutuel wagering at a horse racetrack has unpaid
  1 28 debt from the pari-mutuel racetrack operations, the
  1 29 first receipts of the gambling games operated within
  1 30 the racetrack enclosure less reasonable operating
  1 31 expenses, taxes, and fees allowed under this chapter
  1 32 shall be first used to pay the annual indebtedness.
  1 33 The commission shall authorize, subject to the debt
  1 34 payments for horse racetracks and the provisions of
  1 35 paragraph "b" for dog racetracks, a licensee who is
  1 36 also licensed to conduct pari-mutuel dog or horse
  1 37 racing to use receipts from gambling games within the
  1 38 racetrack enclosure to supplement purses for races
  1 39 particularly for Iowa-bred horses pursuant to an
  1 40 agreement which shall be negotiated between the
  1 41 licensee and representatives of the dog or horse
  1 42 owners.  For a licensee who is also licensed to
  1 43 conduct pari-mutuel horse racing, the supplement to
  1 44 the horse race purses shall be an amount equal to
  1 45 fifteen percent of the annual adjusted gross receipts
  1 46 received from gambling games and, of the total sum
  1 47 allocated to supplement horse race purses, twenty
  1 48 percent shall be used to supplement the purses of
  1 49 Iowa-bred horses and one hundred thousand dollars
  1 50 shall be appropriated from the supplement to Iowa
  2  1 state university for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
  2  2 1997, for horse racing research.  A qualified
  2  3 sponsoring organization shall not make a contribution
  2  4 to a candidate, political committee, candidate's

  2  7 party, or fund-raising event as these terms are
  2  8 defined in section 56.2.  The membership of the board
  2  9 of directors of a qualified sponsoring organization
  2 10 shall represent a broad interest of the communities.""
