California SB844 modifies the number of out-of-state thoroughbred races that can be wagered on within the state.

California SB844 amends Section 19596.2 of the Business and Professions Code to allow thoroughbred racing associations or fairs to distribute the audiovisual signal and accept wagers on out-of-state thoroughbred races during their race meetings. The bill prohibits accepting wagers on out-of-state races after 5 p.m. Pacific time without consent from certain harness or quarter horse racing associations. It also limits the number of imported races to 80 per day when live thoroughbred or fair racing is conducted in the state, with exceptions for specific races.
