SF 164 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Pari-mutual rodeo definitions.

SF 164 adds three specific definitions to Wyoming's gaming laws related to pari-mutuel rodeo events. It defines "groom" (a person caring for rodeo animals), "rodeo contestant" (a competitor), and "rodeo stock contractor" (a person providing livestock). These definitions clarify who must obtain licenses and undergo background checks under the Wyoming Gaming Commission rules. The bill directly affects rodeo event staff, competitors, and livestock providers participating in events with betting. It takes effect July 1, 2025.
