HB1058 — require licensure for online pari-mutuel wagering pools for horse and dog races, and clarify the application of tax therefor.
What changed between bill versions as it moved through the Legislature.
The amendment updates the federal law reference from a specific December 31, 1990 snapshot to the current version of federal code (15 U.S.C §§ 3001 to 3007 as of January 1, 2026) and converts legislative language from "shall" to "must" for clarity, while adding a new licensing requirement that only state-licensed multi-jurisdictional totalizator hubs may operate online pari-mutuel wagering platforms. These changes STRENGTHEN the bill by modernizing its legal foundation and establishing clearer regulatory gatekeeping for online horse and dog race wagering.
