Minnesota Administrative Rules

7877.0145 EMERGENCY LICENSE.

Subpart 1.

Racing officials.

If a racing official approved by the commission becomes incapacitated or is unable to perform his or her duties, the stewards may approve an emergency license. The approval shall be based on the standards in part 7877.0175, and must be reported to the commission for consideration at the next commission meeting. If the emergency licensee has not previously been considered by the commission, the association shall be responsible for immediately submitting a completed license application and personal resume to the commission.

Subp. 2.

Owners.

A.

If an owner is unable to complete an application for an owner's license because of absence or illness, the licensed trainer desiring to enter a horse in a race shall be permitted to apply for an emergency owner's license on behalf of the absent owner.

B.

The trainer must, at the time of submission for an emergency owner's license, provide the following information on an application prescribed by the commission:

(1)

the owner's full name;

(2)

the date of birth of the owner;

(3)

the home or business address of the owner; and

(4)

the telephone number of the owner.

C.

Failure to provide all of the foregoing information is grounds for denial of an emergency owner's license.

D.

An emergency owner's license shall expire 21 days from the date it is issued.

E.

If the information required in item B is not provided to the commission due to an act or omission on the part of the trainer, the trainer must also be subject to disciplinary action by the stewards.

F.

At the time of application, the appropriate licensing fee must be paid to the commission.

G.

Prior to the expiration of the emergency owner's license, the owner must submit a properly completed owner's application as required by parts 7877.0110 and 7877.0130. Failure to do so is grounds for forfeiture of any purse money won by the owner when racing under the emergency license.
