Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.

Higher caps on Oregon racing license fees

Effective upon passage, the law raises the annual fee cap for covered Oregon racing licensees from $30 to $150. The Oregon Racing Commission sets actual fees and must first compare similar license fees in other states. Licenses can last one, two, or three years, with fees prorated and expiration dates set by the commission. A separate fee for a claiming certificate cannot exceed $10. Annual public training track or kennel license fees are $10 for state, county, or district fairs and $25 for other operators.

Higher license fee caps for wagering workers

Effective upon passage, the annual license fee cap rises from $30 to $150 for covered wagering hub employees and officers. This covers employees working in Oregon and officers of hubs located and operating in Oregon. They must get an Oregon Racing Commission license before their work or business begins. The commission sets the actual fee, which can be below $150.

Higher daily fee caps for wagering hubs

Effective upon passage, Oregon’s wagering hub license fee cap rises from $200 to $225 for each operating day. The commission sets the actual fee, which can be lower. Hub payments also include a charge capped at 1% of total gross wagering receipts. Of that collection, 25% goes through the State Treasurer to the General Fund, and the commission retains 75%. The commission can set rules to distribute retained money to benefit Oregon’s pari-mutuel racing industry.
