SB 753 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to dog racing requirements

This bill (SB 753) modifies West Virginia's dog racing licensing rules. It removes requirements that racetrack applicants must race a minimum number of dates to obtain or maintain a license, and eliminates similar requirements for securing telecast contracts or wagers. The bill also clarifies that racetracks conducting only simulcast racing (not live races) still need a racing license, and allows them to operate video lottery games in areas previously used for live racing. These changes primarily affect dog racetracks, license applicants, and video lottery operators at racetracks by simplifying licensing processes and expanding operational flexibility.
