relative to wagering on simulcast dog racing.
SB 363 amends New Hampshire state laws to officially include simulcast dog racing under the same regulatory framework as horse racing. The bill places the authority to oversee and regulate these racing activities under the Lottery Commission, which will also manage existing charitable gaming operations. It requires licenses for anyone conducting dog racing simulcasts and repeals previous specific statutes that governed dog racing separately. The legislation also clarifies restrictions on electronic gaming devices used for wagering while allowing for historic horse race betting. These changes are set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
