Subchapter C. PROCEEDINGS BY STEWARDS AND RACING JUDGES
16 TAC §307.65
The Texas Racing Commission adopts an amendment to §307.65,
relating to the reciprocity of rulings issued in other racing jurisdictions.
The amendment is adopted without changes to the proposal published in the
February 21, 2003 issue of the
Texas Register
(28
TexReg 1601) and the amendment will not be republished.
The amendment is adopted to enhance the integrity of pari-mutuel racing
by prohibiting licensees from circumventing disciplinary actions taken in
other racing jurisdictions.
The amendment deletes the restriction that the stewards and racing judges
may honor rulings issued only by racing jurisdictions in the United States.
This amendment will permit the stewards and racing judges to honor, through
reciprocity, the rulings against licensees that are issued by racing jurisdictions
throughout the world.
No comments were received regarding the adoption of the amendment.
The amendment is adopted under the Texas Civil Statutes, Article
179e, §3.02 which authorizes the Commission to make rules relating exclusively
to horse or greyhound racing; and §3.07, which authorizes the Commission
to adopt rules specifying the authority and duties of racing officials and
authorizes the stewards and racing judges to impose penalties against occupational
licensees.
The amendment implements Texas Civil Statutes, Article 179e.
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.
