AB 1142 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Horses: horse shows, competitions, and sales.

Summary
Existing law provides for the regulation of public equine events and public horse sales, as defined, by the Secretary of Food and Agriculture. Existing law makes the provisions regulating public equine events applicable to events that meet specified criteria, including that the entry fee for a single, one-day event exceeds $4.99, and either no other fees are charged or other fees charged exceed $19.99. This bill would increase the $4.99 amount to $15 and the $19.99 amount to $60. The bill would authorize the secretary to increase those amounts by regulation, as provided.

What changed between versions

10/07/25 - Chaptered AB1142 · 1 edit
MINOR
No substantive policy changes between these two versions. The legislative text of AB 1142 (Chapter 447) is identical in both, including the increase of the entry fee threshold from $4.99 to $15 and the other fees threshold from $19.99 to $60 for public equine events. The differences are purely presentational: one version is the official authenticated electronic legal material while the other is a web page capture from the California Legislature website with added navigation elements.
TECHNICAL

The document changed from an official authenticated electronic legal material format to a web page rendering of the same bill text, adding site navigation elements (links, search boxes, version history) but no changes to the underlying law.
