Sections 6-8: These bill sections amend a 1995 session law. They are necessary due to the sunset or repealer provided in ch. 13, SLA 1995. That session law provided for mushing sweepstakes and for the sunset of those sweepstakes in 2000. The sunset was accomplished by having sections 2, 4, and 6 of the session law take effect in the year 2000. Because those sections are going to be repealed and reenacted in 2000, it is necessary to amend the session law to include any intervening amendments to those sections to avoid the repeal of intervening amendments - like this one for "race classics".
