HB 1845.E - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

     Declares that one-half of those moneys that would otherwise be paid into the thoroughbred racing fund be retained for enhancing purses, until such time as a permanent racing facility is built and operating in Western Washington.

     Directs the horse racing commission to ensure that the opportunity for increased purses will not inadvertently injure horse racing at tracks not directly benefiting from this legislation.
