HB 492 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, in fiscal supplements to statutory programs, repealing provisions relating to regulation of rodeos or rodeo-related events.

HB 492 repeals Section 8041 of Pennsylvania's Fiscal Code, which previously regulated rodeo events. This removes specific municipal restrictions on rodeo operations, including a 12-day annual limit for ticketed rodeos and definitions for "rodeo hosting entities." The bill directly affects municipalities (counties, cities, townships) and rodeo operators by eliminating these regulatory requirements. The repeal takes effect immediately upon enactment, streamlining the Fiscal Code by removing outdated provisions unrelated to fiscal management.
