Pari-mutuel wagering activities-amendments-2.
HB 206 requires criminal background checks for all personnel directly involved in Wyoming's horse racing and pari-mutuel betting events. It specifically applies to roles like jockeys, trainers, mutuel employees, grooms, farriers, and others with access to restricted areas or wagering systems. The bill mandates that these individuals submit fingerprints for checks through the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation before working at events. This policy aims to prevent individuals with criminal histories from participating in regulated betting activities, as defined by the Wyoming Gaming Commission's rules.
