US 5th Circuit Court has ruled that HISA is Unconstitutional

Attention Louisiana Horsemen

The 5th Circuit Court has ruled, and we are awaiting to review the opinion. Based upon discussions with the Attorney General and our LAHBPA counsel, the following has occurred:

1. The 5th Circuit ruled HISA Unconstitutional, apparently under the nondelegation doctrine.

2. The case filed in Louisiana has been remanded back to district court with the injunction reinstated in its entirety.

As a result of this opinion, we will proceed in court to have the other HBPAs, racetracks, and States included in our injunction. Further information will follow after the LAHBPA attorney, John Duvieilh, has received and reviewed the court decision with the Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Louisiana Solicitor Liz Murrill.
