Bill proposed in Connecticut to ban greyhound racing
| By Zak Thomas-Akoo
A bill has been proposed in the Connecticut General Assembly that would ban both greyhound racing within the state, as well as stop operators simulcasting racing from out-of-state locations.
Proposed House Bill 5042 – put forward by two Republican and one Democratic legislators – currently has been referred to the committee of public safety and security.
The individuals who proposed the bill are Representative Klarides-Ditria from the 105th district, Representative D’Agostino from the 91st district and Senator Somers from the 18th district.
