authorizing video lottery terminals at charity gaming facilities and repealing historic horse racing licensing.
HB 728 would have allowed video lottery terminals (electronic gambling machines) at charity gaming facilities, such as those hosting fundraising events. It would have directly affected nonprofit organizations operating these facilities by permitting them to offer VLTs as a new fundraising method. The bill also included provisions to repeal the existing licensing requirements for historic horse racing, removing a separate regulatory framework. However, the bill was ultimately deemed "Inexpedient to Legislate" by the committee with a 20-0 vote on October 16, 2025, effectively halting its progress.
