    Key Takeaways

    • Increases the entry fee threshold for regulated horse events from $5 to $40 to modernize oversight requirements.
    • Raises the additional fees threshold from $20 to $60 for horse shows and competitions requiring regulation.
    • Maintains existing exemptions for racing events, parade competitions, and rodeo-related performances.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Hoover's legislation to modify California's equine event regulations proposes new monetary thresholds that determine when horse shows and competitions fall under state oversight. The measure would raise the entry fee threshold for regulated one-day events from $4.99 to $40, while increasing the ceiling for additional charges like ground and stall fees from $19.99 to $60.

    The regulatory framework continues to apply to public equine events where participants exchange money, goods, or services to compete for placings, points, or awards. Events remaining exempt from these requirements include horse racing competitions overseen by the California Horse Racing Board, sales limited to racing stock, parade horse competitions, and standalone rodeo-related performances such as team penning and barrel racing.
