Can I collect race information from participants in Maine? What are the requirements?

Based on the provided context, it appears that you cannot collect race information from participants in Maine without first obtaining a license from the Maine State Harness Racing Commission ^[1.1]. The Commission has strict rules and regulations regarding officials and race track personnel, including licensed judges and other officials who are responsible for enforcing these rules ^[1.1].

To obtain a license to collect race information, you must first apply to the Commission and receive approval ^[1.1]. Additionally, you must notify the Commission at least 30 days prior to the opening date of the race meet and provide the names of all officials and licensed race track personnel who will be employed by the association conducting the race ^[1.1].

It is important to note that any association permitting an unlicensed person to officiate or participate in a harness racing activity which requires a license shall be subject to a fine, suspension, or revocation of license as determined by the Commission ^[1.1]. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain the necessary licenses and approvals before collecting race information from participants in Maine.
