Overview
This bill changes the number of charity days required for licensed horse racing associations. It now requires associations that conduct 12 weeks or less of racing to designate 3 charity days, and those conducting more than 12 weeks to designate 5. This adjustment affects how racing associations allocate days for charitable distributions of net proceeds. The bill also addresses bill numbering procedures to improve clarity and transparency in the legislative record.
