An updated version of a horse racing law, which was recently declared unconstitutional, has been tucked into the 4,155-page omnibus bill.
at 1:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday — a rule opponents say federalizes horse racing and disenfranchises those in the industry., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was allegedly pushing for the spending bill to include a revised version of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act , an effort that appears to have come to fruition. The U.S.
“HISA has already caused enormous upheaval in our States. A lame-duck session is not the time to slip new language into legislation amending HISA in response to. Indeed, language that attempts anything other than repealing this ill-advised legislation will only make a bad situation worse,” the letter reads in part.
According to Reuters, McConnell, who hails from the land of Churchill Downs, “played a key role in getting the law passed” in 2020 and planned to seek changes to enhance the Federal Trade Commission’s oversight of HISA. McConnell’s office did not respond to Breitbart News’ request for comment by time of publication.
This amendment does not address other substantive issues, nor does it address the funding disaster that remains in the flawed Act. It is clear from the issues raised in the various lawsuits contesting the legal validity of HISA that this one-sentence ‘fix’ does not alleviate the glaring constitutional infirmities this law has created.
