    Subdivision 1. Classes. The commission may issue four classes of licenses:
(a) class A licenses, for the ownership and operation of a racetrack with horse racing on
which pari-mutuel betting is conducted;
(b) class B licenses, for the sponsorship and management of horse racing on which
pari-mutuel betting is conducted;
(c) class C licenses, for the privilege of engaging in certain occupations related to horse
racing; and
(d) class D licenses, for the conduct of pari-mutuel horse racing by county agricultural
societies or associations.
No person may engage in any of the above activities without first having obtained the
appropriate license from the commission.
    Subd. 2. Forms. All application forms for licenses must contain a statement to the effect
that by accepting a license from the commission a licensee consents to having property or
person subject to inspection at any time by the director of racing security or by security officers
designated by the commission.
    Subd. 3. Policy. It is the intent of the legislature that authority granted by law to the
commission to issue licenses not be construed as requiring the commission to issue any license.
