Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 19596.2 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to horse racing.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing California law to allow thoroughbred racing associations and fairs to accept wagers on out-of-state thoroughbred races, including distributing their audiovisual signals, without needing consent from horsemen's organizations or considering purse amounts. Currently, there's a limit of 75 imported races per day when live racing is happening in California, but this bill carves out an exception, exempting races that are part of the "Japan Cup" race card from this daily limit, meaning more races from this specific international event can be broadcast and wagered on in California.
