The U.S. Supreme Court has paused a ruling by the 5th Circuit Court that found the use of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) was an unlawful delegation by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The decision allows HISA to continue overseeing thoroughbred racing tracks and national horse racing safety rules amid ongoing litigation. The ruling was made with an 8-1 vote, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting, stating she would have preferred to skip addressing the case on an emergency basis.
