OHHA opposes H.R. 1754 and S.B. 4547

Grove City, OH — The Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association is first and foremost an advocate for the equine athlete and a proponent of reasonable regulation for the health, safety, and welfare of our equine athletes, and participants, public confidence in wagering, and the integrity of the sport. The mission of the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association is to preserve, protect, promote and serve the entire Standardbred industry in Ohio and beyond.

H.R. 1754 and S.B. 4547 (HISA or the Bills) will have an impact on not only the health and longevity of our Standardbred partners, but also on our agricultural business spread statewide. If enacted there will be no reason for racing or the Ohio State Racing Commission. If passed, HISA will decimate Ohio’s Standardbred racing business.

The OHHA opposes H.R. 1754 and S.B. 4547.
