This market asks whether either a federal ban becomes effective or every state that still permits live greyhound racing or simulcast wagering enacts a ban by May 15, 2027. The federal route remains incomplete: the House passed ban language, but the Senate draft omitted it and the Senate Agriculture Committee’s August farm-bill markup failed. Two live-racing tracks remain in West Virginia, while simulcast wagering is listed in 18 states; several phase-outs are later than the deadline, including Oregon’s July 1, 2027 effective date. External sentiment did not return a usable market for this exact outcome, so the low quote reflects the unresolved federal path and the breadth of the state-level condition rather than a direct crowd anchor.
The Senate Agriculture Committee's farm bill markup failed 10-11 due to partisan disputes over SNAP provisions, leaving the legislation in limbo and preventing any greyhound ban from advancing through the Senate.
The Senate farm bill faces uncertain passage due to Senator McConnell's hospitalization, death of Senator Graham, and Democratic opposition to SNAP changes
Sen. John Boozman's Senate version of H.R. 7567 does not contain the Greyhound Protection Act language that was included in the House-passed version
Eight WV state legislators sent letter to Sens. Capito and Justice requesting support for Greyhound Protection Act in Farm Bill, arguing ban would free up state tax revenues
