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 to the commission.

Subp. 2.

Owners.

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.

The trainer applying for an emergency owner's license on behalf of an absent owner must submit a notarized affidavit with the license application specifying the reasons the owner is unable to complete the application.

The trainer must, at the time of submission for an emergency owner's license, provide at least the following information: the owner's full name, home or business address, telephone number, and social security number. At the time of application, the appropriate licensing fee must be paid to the commission. Failure to provide all of the foregoing information is grounds for denial of an emergency owner's license.

Within 21 days of the issuance of the emergency owner's license, the owner must submit a properly completed owner's application, fingerprint card, and fingerprint fee. Failure to provide the foregoing information is grounds for suspension of the emergency owner's license. In addition, if the required information is not submitted due to an act or omission on the part of the trainer, the trainer may also be subject to disciplinary action.
