Racehorse Health and Safety Act of 2025

This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for improving horse racing safety and medication control across the United States and repeals the previous Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2020. It would establish a Racehorse Health and Safety Organization (RHSO) with a nine-member board to oversee three separate scientific medication control committees for Standardbred, Quarter Horse, and Thoroughbred racing, with the organization developing breed-specific medication and safety rules and implementing enforcement mechanisms for rule violations. The legislation aims to improve horse welfare, ensure fair competition, and enhance the integrity of horse racing by creating a standardized, science-based approach to medication control and racetrack safety across participating states. If enacted, this bill would replace the current federal horse racing law with a state-based system where participating states coordinate through an interstate compact rather than operating under a single federal authority.
