A local bill related to gaming in Greene County stalled dozens of local bills on the 29th day of the 2025 legislative session in the Senate. The issue took up significant time in the Senate and led to debate on the House floor.
Senate Bill 90, carried by Senator Bobby Singleton, D-Greensboro, would update the current law allowing racetracks and pari-mutuel wagering in Greene County. The law also provides for the disbursement of gaming fees and revenue to local entities. SB90 would add a provision for historical horse racing on a computerized machine.
“In Greene County, the dog track there has been in existence since 1977. This is not anything new. This is not expanding gaming. It is upgrading the statute,” Singleton said.
