By Mr. Chan of Quincy, a petition of Tackey Chan further regulating thoroughbred breeding. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate the thoroughbred breeding industry in Massachusetts. It amends the existing state law to expand the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeding Program, which offers cash prizes to breeders and owners of Massachusetts-bred and Massachusetts-accredited thoroughbred horses that finish in the top five positions in pari-mutuel horse races, both within and outside the commonwealth. The bill sets standards for what constitutes a Massachusetts-bred or Massachusetts-accredited horse, and authorizes the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeders Association to pay foaling bonuses and use up to 12% of the program's funds for advertising, marketing, and administration. The state auditor is also required to annually audit the association's books to ensure compliance with the law.
