The resolution proposes an amendment to the Arkansas Constitution to remove all references to greyhound racing from Amendment 100, which pertains to casino gaming and licensing. The amendment seeks to update the language to reflect the current status of greyhound racing in the state, as there is no longer an entity holding a franchise to conduct greyhound racing. Specifically, it modifies sections related to casino licensees' ability to accept wagers, the regulation of casino gaming, and the distribution of net casino gaming receipts tax, ensuring that these provisions only pertain to horse racing.
Additionally, the amendment outlines the effective date of January 1, 2027, and establishes a ballot title and popular name for the proposed change. The popular name emphasizes the removal of greyhound racing references and the adjustment of tax distribution and contributions to racing purses and breeding activities, reflecting the current landscape of racing in Arkansas. If approved by a majority of voters in the next general election, the amendment will become part of the Arkansas Constitution.
