The Arkansas Racing Commission and the state Department of Finance and Administration have not fulfilled their constitutional duty to establish compulsive-gambling-disorder treatment and educational programs, a lawsuit filed Wednesday claims.
Amendment 100 to the Arkansas Constitution requires the Racing Commission to provide at least $200,000 annually for the programs, but it has not done so, the lawsuit from plaintiff FaNeisha Yavette Mosley states. Mosley is a counselor in Little Rock.
Voters approved the constitutional amendment in November 2018.
