Pari-mutuel wagering activities-amendments.
Wyoming's SF 125 requires criminal background checks for specific individuals involved in horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering operations. It mandates that roles like jockeys, mutuel managers, grooms, farriers, stable employees, and others with access to restricted areas or animal facilities must undergo fingerprint-based background checks through the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation. The bill specifies these checks are required for permittees, employees, volunteers, and contractors before they can participate in events. It does not change betting rules or revenue structures but adds personnel vetting as a regulatory requirement for safety and integrity. The law applies directly to all entities operating pari-mutuel events in Wyoming.
