The House has not yet voted on our bill.Everyone continues to talk with the Representatives to ask them for their support of Senate Bill 737.
As reported yesterday, after lengthy testimony from both sides of the issues, Senate Bill 737 passed the House Executive Committee on a vote of 8 to 3.The next stage for this bill is the passage stage by the entire House. In order to pass, the bill needs at least 60 Representatives to vote for this bill.
Again, please continue to contact your representative now at their Springfield office.This bill could be voted on as soon as this tomorrow (Friday) in the House.Tell your legislator how important this bill is to horse racing.Tell your story.
Hopefully the bill will pass the House on Friday or Monday.If this happens the bill must return to the Senate for consideration of the House changes.
