Our harness racing bill overwhelmingly passed the Illinois Senate with bipartisan support last night
By Tony Somone October 31, 2025
Our harness racing bill overwhelmingly passed the Illinois Senate with bipartisan support last night and is still active. The bill is now with the House and only needs to be voted on by that chamber.
