The bill amends the Wyoming gaming commission's rules to include definitions for 'rodeo contestant' and 'rodeo stock contractor' related to pari-mutuel rodeo events, requiring licenses and background checks for those involved in such events.

What it does

  • Adds new definitions for 'rodeo contestant' and 'rodeo stock contractor' related to pari-mutuel rodeo events.

  • Allows the commission to require fingerprinting for background checks on those involved in these events.

Who it affects

  • Individuals who participate in or are employed by organizations that host pari-mutuel rodeo events
  • The Wyoming Gaming Commission

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill did not pass and therefore has no legal effect.

  • The effective date specified in the bill text is July 1, 2025, but since the bill did not pass, this date is irrelevant.
