HB 3153 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to dog racing requirements

HB 3153 modifies West Virginia's dog racing licensing rules to simplify requirements for racetracks. It eliminates minimum race date requirements for obtaining or renewing licenses, including for tracks that only conduct simulcast racing (broadcasting races from other locations). The bill also removes the need for video lottery license renewals to require a racing license and allows racetracks to continue operating video lottery and table games in areas previously used for live racing. These changes primarily affect dog racetrack operators seeking licenses or renewals, streamlining regulations for facilities focusing on simulcast or non-live racing operations.
