## Full section analysis

SF0045, enrolled as Senate Act No. 51 of the 2026 Budget Session, creates W.S. 11-25-210 and establishes new requirements for pari-mutuel simulcasting permits, including Historic Horse Racing terminals. The statute requires approval from the relevant city, town, or county before a simulcasting permit issues, sets permit conditions, defines revocation grounds, and provides for judicial review of permitting decisions. This is durable primary legislation rather than administrative guidance, meaning the local-approval requirement is now embedded in statute and not readily reversible by regulator discretion alone. The change inserts municipal and county government directly into a licensing process that previously ran through state-level administration, adding a new stakeholder and a new point of potential delay or denial for HHR and simulcasting operators seeking to establish or expand facilities.
