AB 136 California Assembly · 2009-2010 Regular Session

Horse racing: imported harness or quarter horse races.

Summary

(1) Under existing law, the California Horse Racing Board is authorized to permit a harness or quarter horse association conducting a race meeting to accept wagers on the results of out-of-state or out-of-country harness or quarter horse races, and certain other designated harness or quarter horse races, if specified conditions are met. One of these conditions is that, if only one breed is being raced on a given day, the racing association conducting live racing may import those races that would otherwise be simulcast by the association which is not racing, subject to the limitation that the total number of harness or quarter horse races imported in a calendar year does not exceed the number of night races imported in 1998 after 5:30 p.m. This bill would delete that limitation regarding the total number of harness or quarter horse races imported in a calendar year. (2) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
