What SB 795 does, verified June 26, 2026
This bill aims to amend a section of the business and professions code related to horse racing. It allows thoroughbred racing associations or fairs to distribute the audiovisual signal and accept wagers on out-of-state thoroughbred races without the consent of horsemen and horsewomen, even on days with no live racing. The limitation on importing 75 races per day is waived for a specific type of out-of-state race, the Delaware Handicap.
