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 individuals participating in these events, and "rodeo stock contractor," which pertains to those 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 and volunteers, and mandates that they undergo criminal history background checks. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
