Use of Funds Allocated to Horsemen's Organizations

[38 Pa.B. 2276]
[Saturday, May 17, 2008]

   The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Board), at its October 25, 2006, public meeting, adopted guidelines for the use of funds allocated to horsemen's organizations. These funds are to be used to finance programs to benefit horsemen of this Commonwealth. These guidelines were codified as a statement of policy and published at 36 Pa.B. 7294 (December 2, 2006).

   Subsequent to that publication, the Board adopted the permanent regulations in Chapter 441a (relating to slot machine licenses) which replaced the Board's temporary Chapter 441 regulations. This amendment replaces citations to Chapter 441 with the appropriate citations to Chapter 441a.

Fiscal Impact

   This amendment to the statement of policy merely updates citations. Since there are no changes to the substance of this statement of policy, this amendment will not impose any costs on slot machine licensees, horsemen's organizations or the Board.
