An Act amending Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in race horse industry reform, further providing for additional powers of commission.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's race horse industry laws to update definitions and expand the regulatory powers of the state commission. It clarifies that the term "applicant" covers a wide range of individuals involved in horse racing, including owners, trainers, jockeys, veterinarians, and security personnel. The legislation requires these applicants to submit fingerprints for a comprehensive criminal history check that includes verification with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Additionally, the bill mandates that the commission use this background information to screen individuals for fitness to hold licenses while ensuring the records are maintained according to federal law.
