Bill > HF2243

This bill provides funding to support Minnesota's thoroughbred racing culture by appropriating $1,000,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund. The money will be granted to a specific type of racetrack (a class A racetrack) that primarily conducts thoroughbred and quarter horse racing and is licensed by the Minnesota Racing Commission. The purpose of the grant is to expand opportunities for Minnesota racehorses at the racetrack, with the goal of preserving and supporting the state's cultural heritage of thoroughbred racing. The funding aims to help maintain and potentially grow the local horse racing industry by providing financial support to a qualifying racetrack.
