After all monies presently or hereafter dedicated are paid, fifty percent of the balance of all tax revenues remaining shall be allocated and be paid over to the governing authority of the parish or municipality in which the racing meet or meetings are held and the remaining fifty percent of such balance of the tax revenues shall be allocated and paid over to the state treasurer for deposit in the general fund of the state. No race or racing shall be permitted on Sundays unless the governing authority of the parish or municipality shall have first approved the same by resolution or ordinance and shall have further received the approval of the commission, nor shall minors be employed in any manner about the race track, except as jockeys, apprentice jockeys, exercise persons, grooms, or hot walkers.
