Short Summary
This legal document pertains to the licenses required for stewards and judges of horse races and greyhound races conducted by licensed operators. Any person who wishes to act as a steward for a horse race or a judge for a greyhound race must obtain a license from the commission responsible for licensing the operator. The commission may require applicants to pass examinations related to the duties of stewards or judges. Additionally, the commission may establish other requirements, such as the payment of license fees. The term of a steward’s license or judge’s license is not to exceed two years, but it may be extended or renewed at the commission’s discretion. For each program of horse racing, three licensed stewards are appointed, with two appointed by the commission and one appointed by the operator. Similarly, for each program of greyhound racing, three licensed judges are appointed, with two appointed by the commission and one appointed by the operator. The stewards and judges exercise powers and perform duties as prescribed by the rules and regulations of the licensing commission. The wages and other employment costs of the steward appointed by the horse racing operator are paid by the operator, while the wages and other employment costs of the two stewards appointed by the commission are paid by the commission. Likewise, the wages and other employment costs of the judge appointed by the greyhound racing operator are paid by the operator, and the wages and other employment costs of the two judges appointed by the commission are paid by the commission.
