I. There is established a commission to study the effect of recent changes made to charitable gaming laws, including the newly authorized historical horse races.
II. (a) The members of the commission shall be as follows:
(1) Two members of the senate, appointed by the president of the senate.
(2) Five members of the house of representatives, appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives.

(b) Legislative members of the commission shall receive mileage at the legislative rate when attending to the duties of the commission.
III. The commission shall examine how charities are selected and whether a uniform process should exist; whether the state should implement a limit on the number of charitable gaming locations; and whether charging rent to the charities is necessary with historic horse racing. The commission shall bring together different stakeholders to address these questions, and ensure those involved in the process have a voice in the discussion that will result in recommendations benefitting all stakeholders.

The first meeting of the commission shall be held within 45 days of the effective date of this section. Five members of the commission shall constitute a quorum.
V. The commission shall report its findings and any recommendations for proposed legislation to the president of the senate, the speaker of the house of representatives, the senate clerk, the house clerk, the governor, and the state library on or before November 1, 2024.
