Short Summary
The legal documents reviewed govern various aspects of horse racing in Delaware. The INTERSTATE LICENSING COMPACT establishes the Compact Committee as an interstate governmental entity responsible for determining licensing requirements and issuing licenses to participants in live racing. The Compact aims to ensure a uniform minimum standard of honesty and integrity among the party states and facilitate the growth of the harness and horse racing industry. The Compact allows party states to charge fees for licenses and apply their own standards for license suspension or revocation. The Interstate Anti-Doping and Drug Testing Standards Compact aims to create uniform breed-specific rules and regulations regarding drug testing and medication use in horse racing. It authorizes the Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission to participate in the compact, which operates through the adoption of bylaws, committees, and an executive director. The documents also specify requirements for obtaining a license to conduct a racing meet, including application requirements and the authority of the Commission to reject applications. They impose restrictions on licensees who also maintain video lottery machines, require insurance against personal injury liability, and add an amount to purses for races held at the licensee’s racetrack. The documents also prohibit aiding or abetting unauthorized horse racing meets without a license from the Commission and outline the process for obtaining a license to conduct and sell pools for horse race wagering. The Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission documents provide information on the Commission’s annual reporting, removal of Commissioners, record-keeping responsibilities, inspection warrants, oath and bond requirements, appointment and qualifications of Commissioners and employees, and revenue appropriation. The documents related to harness racing in Delaware focus on the Delaware Standardbred Breeders Program Fund, enforcement and compliance of regulations, penalties for false statements, failure to pay taxes, and unauthorized harness horse racing meets. They also address licensing, rules, and regulations for harness racing meets, tax on pari-mutuel and totalizator pools, eligibility criteria for Delaware-owned or bred races, and the powers and authority of the Delaware Racing Commission. The documents outline the operations of the Delaware Harness Racing Commission, including its jurisdiction, regulatory authority, and licensing process. Overall, these documents aim to regulate and ensure the integrity of horse racing meets, drug testing, and the operations of the Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission and the Delaware Harness Racing Commission.
