Bill > SF2812

This bill appropriates a total of $2 million (specifically $1 million in fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund to support thoroughbred racing in the state. The funds will be granted to a specific type of racetrack—a Class A facility that is licensed by the Minnesota Racing Commission and primarily conducts thoroughbred and quarter horse racing. The purpose of the appropriation is to support Minnesota's racing culture by providing resources to expand opportunities for Minnesota-bred racehorses. By allocating these funds, the bill aims to preserve and promote the state's thoroughbred racing heritage, helping to sustain this traditional sporting and cultural activity. The bill demonstrates a commitment to maintaining the historical and economic significance of horse racing in Minnesota by providing targeted financial support to a local racetrack.
