It makes interesting reading

• *HISA is scheduled to go into effect no later than July 1, 2022
• The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is identified within the new law as the medication control enforcement body that will be the foundation of the Authority.
• The new law does not specifically mention harness racing, and, indeed, some proponents of the legislation frequently questioned why the USTA was opposing a measure that did not include Standardbreds. However, the law contains an opt-in provision for each state racing commission to elect to have additional breeds covered by the law
• The new law effectively removes medication control from the state racing commissions
• The new law specifies that all race day medication, including Lasix, is to be phased out and ultimately prohibited
• In addition to medication control, use of the whip/crop also would be regulated by the Authority as it is considered a racetrack safety issue

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit declares HISA unconstitutional

“The end result is that Congress has given a private entity the last word over what rules govern our nation’s thoroughbred horseracing industry. The Constitution forbids that. For good reason, the Constitution vests federal power only in the three branches of the federal government. Congress defies this basic safeguard by vesting government power in a private entity not accountable to the people. That is what it has done in HISA. The Authority’s power outstrips any private delegation the Supreme Court or our court has allowed. We must therefore declare HISA facially unconstitutional.”
