A license issued pursuant to this act shall be valid for a term of one year. The commission shall issue a license only if the permit holder at Monmouth Park and the thoroughbred permit holder at Meadowlands Racetrack schedule at least the minimum number of race dates required in section 30 of this act, P.L.2001, c.199 (C. 5:5-156), and it is satisfied that the authority has entered into a participation agreement with each and every person, partnership, association, corporation or authority or the successor in interest to such person, partnership, association, corporation or authority that:

(2) has complied with the terms of such permit; and
