DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION
Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 4, 2012, the Divisions of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, Hotels & Restaurants, and Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, has received the petition for declaratory statement from Petitioners Jacksonville Kennel Club, Inc., and JGR Services, Inc., in DBPR Case Nos. 2012022177 (Pari-Mutuel Wagering), 2012022925 (Hotels & Restaurants) and 2012022917 (Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco) (DS 2012-041). The petition seeks the agency’s opinion as to the applicability of Chapters 509, 550, 561 and Section 849.086, F.S., as it applies to the petitioner.

The petition seeks the opinion of each division as to whether petitioners’ installation of “arcade amusement machines” at its pari-mutuel facility in Jacksonville, Florida, as authorized by local Jacksonville ordinance, would jeopardize any of the state permits or licenses issued by the divisions listed above to petitioners and subject petitioners to administrative discipline. Petitioners seek a determination of the operative provisions of Chapters 509, 550, 561 and Section 849.086, F.S., and whether such would permit petitioners to install “arcade amusement machines” and, if not, whether such would subject its permits and/or licenses issued by each of the three divisions to any administrative discipline, including fines, suspension, and/or revocation. Any person whose substantial interests may be affected by a declaratory statement on the subject matter of the Petition may file a petition to intervene within 14 days of the publication of this notice.

A copy of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Agency Clerk, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2202, [phone].
