Statesman, Clay Higgins of Louisiana,
Question:
If H.R. 5693 passes, state racing commissions are no longer legally obligated to be regulated by HISA, or by RHSO (Racehorse Health and Safety Organization); so what stops state racing commissions from just remaining independent as they did before the Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978?

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed weaknesses of the U.S. public health system, revealing
crucial gaps in readiness, coordination, and trust between the government and public. The
overall response from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institute of Health (NIH) revealed substantial
issues within these agencies, including communication failures and overly broad mandates
that impacted millions of American citizens.
, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic will hold a hearing titled “Preparing
for the Next Pandemic: Lessons Learned and The Path Forward.”
“Congress should work with State racing commissions to regulate horseracing in a responsible way to ensure racetrack
safety and the economic viability of small tracks across the country.
I will work with any Senator who is willing to stand up for small tracks in the next Congress and fix this broken way of governing.”
– Congressman Lance Gooden
