HB 232 Wyoming House · 2019 General Session

Purse enhancement for Wyoming horse racing-2.

HB 232 requires horse racing permittees in Wyoming to contribute 10% of funds retained from historic pari-mutuel events to a "live event fund." This fund, administered by the pari-mutuel commission, must be used exclusively to enhance purses for live horse racing events at Wyoming tracks. The bill directly affects licensed horse racing venues by redirecting a portion of their historic event revenue toward improving prize money for current live races. It became effective July 1, 2019, though it died in committee before becoming law.
