Summary

The bill lets the California Horse Racing Board waive the current 90‑day deadline for annual audits of horsemen’s organizations’ pension, administrative and welfare funds. It also creates a framework for approving up to 15 additional minisatellite wagering locations per zone, including distance requirements, consent rules, and contract details about which races must be offered. These changes aim to give the board more flexibility while protecting the integrity of horse racing finance and wagering.
