AI Summary

This bill modifies the Oregon Revised Statutes related to racing commission license fees by increasing the maximum license fees that the Oregon Racing Commission (ORC) can charge. Specifically, the bill raises the annual license fee for individuals from $30 to $150 and increases the Multi-Jurisdictional Simulcasting and Interactive Wagering Totalizator Hub license fee from $200 to $225 per operating day. The bill requires the ORC to review fees charged in other states before establishing new license fees and allows for licenses to be valid for one, two, or three years. The legislation also maintains provisions for licensing employees and officers of multi-jurisdictional wagering hubs and specifies how revenues from these fees will be distributed, with 25% going to the General Fund and 75% retained by the commission for potential distribution to the Oregon pari-mutuel racing industry. As an emergency measure, the bill will take effect immediately upon passage in 2025, with the stated purpose of preserving public peace, health, and safety.
