HB 3020 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to racing.

HB 3020 prohibits all wagering on dog races, including greyhound races, for individuals and entities in Oregon. It updates current animal racing laws by removing specific references to greyhound racing, dog owners, and kennels. This means that wagering hubs, such as Multi-Jurisdictional Simulcasting and Interactive Wagering Totalizator Hubs, will no longer be permitted to accept or facilitate such wagers. The provisions of this bill are scheduled to become operative on July 1, 2027.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized from its A-Engrossed version to the Enrolled version with minor formatting adjustments and one substantive addition to the definitions section. The core policy prohibiting dog racing wagering remains unchanged, but the final version adds two new definitions for 'public training track' and 'race' to clarify the scope of racing activities regulated by the bill.
