# 15 U.S.C. § 3001 - Congressional findings and policy
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) The Congress finds that—
|
||
|
||
(1) the States should have the primary responsibility for determining what forms of gambling may legally take place within their borders;
|
||
|
||
(2) the Federal Government should prevent interference by one State with the gambling policies of another, and should act to protect identifiable national interests; and
|
||
|
||
(3) in the limited area of interstate off-track wagering on horseraces, there is a need for Federal action to ensure States will continue to cooperate with one another in the acceptance of legal interstate wagers.
|
||
|
||
(b) It is the policy of the Congress in this chapter to regulate interstate commerce with respect to wagering on horseracing, in order to further the horseracing and legal off-track betting industries in the United States.
|
||
