Relating to authorizing the Racing Commission to promulgate a legislative rule relating to thoroughbred racing.
This bill authorizes West Virginia's Racing Commission to implement an existing rule (178 CSR 01) governing thoroughbred racing operations. It approves a rule the Commission had drafted, revised after committee feedback, and resubmitted for approval. The rule directly affects thoroughbred racing entities like tracks, owners, and participants who must comply with its regulations. This is a procedural step to finalize administrative rules, not a substantive policy change.
