Relating to horse racing.

SB 1524 establishes a dedicated Horse Racing Account funded by 0.3% of Oregon's annual lottery net proceeds, starting July 1, 2027. The funds support horse racing events operated by licensed entities and held at fairgrounds in Crook, Josephine, Tillamook, and Union Counties. Key uses include maintaining tracks, funding purse money and safety equipment, covering veterinary care, and building safety infrastructure for horses and jockeys. This allocation is separate from other lottery funds and requires annual disbursement after meeting prior constitutional obligations.
