The Amended Petition seeks the agency’s opinion as to the applicability of Chapter 551, Florida Statutes, as it applies to the Petitioner.

Petitioner seeks a determination as to whether its facility located at 450 NW 37th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33126, must continue to run the same type of racing or games that first qualified the facility to become an “eligible facility” pursuant to Section 551.102(4), Florida Statutes.

Petitioner also seeks a determination as to whether, pursuant to Section 551.102(4), Florida Statutes, West Flagler may discontinue the operation of greyhound races and instead operate a full schedule of jai alai performances in order to maintain its “eligible facility” status to continue to conduct slot machine operations.

Any person whose substantial interests may be affected by a declaratory statement on the subject matter of the Amended Petition may file a motion to intervene within 21 days of the publication of this notice.

A copy of the Amended 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], [e-mail].
