Mississippi Horse Racing Task Force; create.

SB 2626 creates the Mississippi Horse Racing Task Force to analyze horse racing, pari-mutuel wagering, economic development, and the equine industry in Mississippi. The task force, composed of 12 appointed members including state agency representatives, industry stakeholders, and legislative committee chairs, will study existing laws like sections 75-76-55 (gaming regulations) and 87-1-1 (wagering contracts) and submit recommendations to the legislature by December 15, 2026. Members serve without pay and must hold their first meeting within 60 days of the bill's effective date. This procedural bill establishes a study group to evaluate potential changes to gaming and racing laws but does not enact new policies.
