If the authority seeks proposals to lease one or both of its horse racetrack facilities, it shall promptly provide written notification thereof to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the General Assembly. Within 20 days after the receipt of such notice, the President of the Senate and Speaker of the General Assembly shall designate a member of the Senate and a member of the General Assembly, as appropriate, to serve as a liaison between the Legislature and the authority with respect to the potential leasing of one or both of the authority's horse racetracks, and shall provide written notification to the authority of the designations. The President and Chief Executive Officer of the authority shall describe to the liaisons each significant proposal and the authority's analysis of each significant proposal. Any recommendation regarding a lease proposal submitted by the President and Chief Executive Officer or staff of the authority to the board of commissioners shall include the opinions of the liaisons. The authority's members shall not award the contract in a lease transaction less than 45 days after the liaisons receive descriptions and analyses of the proposals.
