16 TAC §303.92
The Texas Racing Commission adopts an amendment to §303.92
concerning the rules for the Texas Bred Incentive Program for thoroughbred
horses without changes to the proposed text as published in the April 16,
1999, issue of the
Texas Register
(24 TexReg
3003). The amendment was first presented to the commission as a rulemaking
petition under 16 Texas Administrative Code §307.33 by the Texas Thoroughbred
Association, the officially designated breed registry for thoroughbred horses
in Texas. According to the petition, the amendment is necessary to conform
current operating procedures to the centralized bookkeeping system operated
by the horsemen's bookkeeper. The amendment clarifies that the accredited
Texas-bred incentive awards are not a part of the purse, but are an added
incentive under the statute.
No comments were received regarding the amendment.
The amendment is adopted under the Texas Civil Statutes, Article
179e, §3.02, which authorize the Commission to adopt rules for conducting
racing with wagering and for administering the Texas Racing Act; §6.08,
which authorizes the Commission to adopt rules relating to the accounting,
audit, and distribution of all amounts set aside for the Texas-bred program;
and §9.01, which authorizes the commission to approve and adopt rules
developed by the breed registries.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on May
24, 1999.
