This bill directs the Arizona Department of Gaming to collect a new 0.5 percent regulatory fee from commercial horse racing operators in fiscal year 2026-2027, with the fee taken directly from the betting pools. It also temporarily changes eligibility rules for first-time race horses by allowing them to compete if they have gate approval and at least two timed workouts, including one conducted within sixty days of the race. These specific provisions regarding the fee and horse eligibility are set to expire on December 31, 2027.
