TO AMEND SECTIONS OF THE ARKANSAS CODE TO PROHIBIT GREYHOUND RACING AND SIMULCASTING OF GREYHOUND RACING.

HB 1721 bans greyhound racing and wagers on greyhound racing (including simulcasts) in Arkansas. It prohibits casino licensees and franchise holders from conducting or accepting bets on greyhound racing under Arkansas law. The bill amends multiple code sections to remove greyhound racing from permitted activities, updating references in gaming, electronic games, and lottery laws to reflect this ban. The prohibition takes effect January 1, 2028, directly impacting entities currently authorized to operate greyhound racing or related wagering.
