This bill amends and reenacts section 64-7-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Racing Commission to promulgate a legislative rule concerning thoroughbred racing. Specifically, it references a legislative rule that was filed in the State Register on July 24, 2025, and subsequently modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on November 5, 2025.

The primary aim of this legislation is to provide the Racing Commission with the authority to establish regulations that govern thoroughbred racing, thereby ensuring that the rules are in compliance with state law and addressing any necessary modifications as identified by the review committee. This bill does not include any deletions or additional legal language beyond the specified authorization.
