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

To collect race information from participants in Minnesota, you must comply with the requirements set forth by the Minnesota Racing Commission. The specific requirements depend on the type of license you are applying for.

For a Class A license, the applicant must make its best effort to include personal information and authorization for release for each individual identified as an applicant, partner, director, officer, other policymaker, or holder of a direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership interest or other voting interest or control of five percent or more in the applicant [1.2]. The authorization for release of personal information must be signed by the individual and provide authorization for a review by and full disclosure to an agent of the Minnesota Public Safety Department, Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division, of all records concerning the individual, whether the records are public, nonpublic, private, or confidential [1.2].

For a Class B license, the applicant must include an affidavit of the chief executive officer of or a major financial participant in the applicant setting forth various representations, including that the applicant will comply with Minnesota Statutes, chapter 240 and all rules of the commission [1.5]. Additionally, the applicant must disclose its plans for promotion of the orderly growth of horse racing in Minnesota and education of the public with respect to horse racing and pari-mutuel betting [1.8].

In both cases, the applicant must comply with Minnesota Statutes, chapter 240, and all rules of the commission [1.1][1.2][1.3][1.5][1.7][1.8].

Therefore, to collect race information from participants in Minnesota, you must obtain the necessary licenses and comply with the requirements set forth by the Minnesota Racing Commission.
