    1         Senate Amendment 
    2  
    3         Delete lines 236 - 270
    4  and insert:
    5  chapter 550, chapter 551, or chapter 849 or rules adopted by the
    6  department. Such rules must be uniform in their application and
    7  effect, and the duty of exercising this control and power is
    8  made mandatory upon the department.
    9         (f) The department may take testimony concerning any matter
   10  within its jurisdiction and issue summons and subpoenas for any
   11  witness and subpoenas duces tecum in connection with any matter
   12  within the jurisdiction of the department under its seal and
   13  signed by the director.
   14         (g) In addition to the power to exclude certain persons
   15  from any pari-mutuel facility in this state, the department may
   16  exclude any person from any and all gaming establishments under
   17  the jurisdiction of the department in this state for conduct
   18  that would constitute, if the person were a licensee, a
   19  violation of chapter 550, chapter 551, or chapter 849 or the
   20  rules of the department. The department may exclude from any
   21  gaming establishment under its jurisdiction within this state
   22  any person who has been ejected from a pari-mutuel facility or
   23  other gaming establishment in this state or who has been
   24  excluded from any pari-mutuel facility or other gaming
   25  establishment in another state by the governmental department,
   26  agency, commission, or authority exercising regulatory
   27  jurisdiction over such facilities in such other state. The
   28  department may authorize any person who has been ejected or
   29  excluded from establishments in this state or another state to
   30  enter such facilities in this state upon a finding that the
   31  attendance of such person would not be adverse to the public
   32  interest or to the integrity of the industry; however, this
   33  subsection shall not be construed to abrogate the common-law
   34  right of a pari-mutuel permitholder or a proprietor of a gaming
   35  establishment to exclude absolutely a patron in this state.
   36         (h) The department may collect taxes and require compliance
   37  with reporting requirements for financial information as
   38  authorized by chapter 550, chapter 551, or chapter 849. In
   39  addition, the executive director of the department
