Relating to dog racing requirements

Summary

The bill revises West Virginia’s dog‑racing licensing rules by eliminating the need for applicants to run a set number of live races to obtain or renew a license, and by allowing tracks that only run simulcast races to do so as long as they hold a racing license. It also removes the requirement that video‑lottery and table‑games operators at dog tracks hold a racing license to keep those gambling licenses, and clarifies income‑share provisions for former dog‑track operators. These changes aim to modernize the regulatory framework and give racetracks more flexibility while maintaining oversight by the Racing Commission.
