The bill HB2415 seeks to continue the Arizona Racing Commission for an additional two years, extending its termination date from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2026. It also includes a provision that the Commission will be repealed on January 1, 2027. The legislation emphasizes the Commission's role in regulating the racing industry to ensure public safety and welfare. Additionally, the bill contains a retroactive provision that applies from July 1, 2024.

In contrast to current law, which allows for the Commission's continuation until July 1, 2024, this bill formalizes its extension and sets a clear timeline for its eventual repeal. The bill also repeals section 41-3024.28 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which previously governed the Commission's operations, and introduces new language to clarify the Commission's ongoing responsibilities and the timeline for its dissolution.
