Short Summary
This legal document governs the issuance and renewal of licenses for horse racing activities in Puerto Rico. It specifies that no license may be granted or renewed to any person who has been convicted of violating the Controlled Substances Act of Puerto Rico or convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, until a minimum of five years has elapsed from the date of the criminal act and all conditions set by the Horse Racing Administrator and the Horse Racing Board have been met. The document also states that licenses issued under specific sections of the law are valid for up to four years, while racetrack licenses can be issued for a term of up to fifteen years. Temporary racetrack licenses are valid for one year and can be renewed upon meeting the requirements and paying the corresponding fees. The document further outlines the renewal process for licenses, with racetrack licenses being renewed on the anniversary date and juridical persons’ licenses being renewed one year after the issue date. It also grants racetracks the authorization to request the Horse Racing Administrator’s approval for simulcasting and electronically reproducing races held in other racetracks, as well as the authorization to simulcast and electronically reproduce live races held in their own racetracks for other racetracks or authorized off-track betting locations. The Horse Racing Board is responsible for prescribing reasonable requirements for approving simulcasting on a case-by-case basis. Overall, this document provides the regulations and guidelines for issuing and renewing licenses for horse racing activities in Puerto Rico.
