Repeals a prohibition on off-track pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing
This bill removes a legal ban on betting on horse races at locations outside racetracks (like casinos or bars), known as off-track wagering. It would directly affect horse racing venues, betting operators, and state regulators by allowing pari-mutuel betting pools to operate in new venues. The key mechanism is simply repealing the existing prohibition, which would change how and where such wagering is legally permitted.
