Senator tries last-ditch push to boost horse-racing industry in Illinois – Capitol News IL

Senate Bill 1473, would undo part of a 2019 law that gave Hawthorne Race Course, a gambling course in Stickney, authority to veto other racecourse developments within 35 miles. At the same time, it would make way to build a new racecourse in Decatur.
