The commission shall assign racing days to each racetrack licensee authorized to conduct racing with pari-mutuel betting, and a licensee may conduct racing with pari-mutuel betting only on a racing day assigned by the commission. The assignment of racing days and times of racing to a facility licensed under section 240.06, subdivision 5a, may not prevent the commission from assigning to a racetrack in existence on January 1, 1987, the same or overlapping days or times. The commission may not assign non-standard-bred racing days for a racetrack licensed under section 240.06, subdivision 5a. The commission may assign racing days for up to three years beyond the year in which the assignment is made. Assignments of racing days in any year must be made by December 31 of the previous year, except that days may be assigned after that date to a licensee whose license is issued after that date.
