The resolution presented is a concurrent legislative measure that proposes an amendment to the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically Section 5-103.01, which pertains to horse and dog racing. The amendment seeks to enact and order the submission of this measure to the people for a vote. If the voters approve the measure and the Governor proclaims it, the amendment will become valid as law.
The key change in the legislation involves the prohibition of certain activities for employees or appointees of the commission overseeing horse and dog racing. The amendment clarifies that these individuals may not engage in business dealings, ventures, or contracts with racetrack owners or lessees, be employed by any racetrack or permittee, or participate as an owner-trainer, trainer, or jockey in any racing meeting conducted within the state. The Secretary of State is tasked with submitting this proposition to the voters at the next general election as outlined by the state constitution.
