The bill amends the definitions related to the Wyoming gaming commission, specifically concerning pari-mutuel rodeo events. It introduces new definitions for "rodeo contestant," which refers to a person participating in a pari-mutuel rodeo event, and "rodeo stock contractor," which denotes a person providing livestock for such events. Additionally, the term "groom" is expanded to include care for animals involved in both horse racing and pari-mutuel rodeo events.

The bill emphasizes the licensing requirements for all individuals associated with permitted events, including employees, volunteers, and those with access to restricted areas. It mandates that these individuals undergo criminal history background checks through the Wyoming division of criminal investigation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
