AI Summary
This bill amends the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law to designate individuals who have harassed athletes, coaches, officials, or participants of sports events as "prohibited sports bettors," meaning they will be barred from placing sports wagers. The bill defines harassment broadly to include verbal, written, or electronic threats, lewd or obscene statements or images, vandalism, or nonconsensual physical contact, provided the individual knew or should have known their actions would cause substantial emotional distress, fear for safety, or fear for property destruction. The relevant commission will notify individuals of their designation and provide a process for appealing or rescinding this status.
