This notice will be also posted on the Commission's web site.
Licenses are issued for a 3-year term, unless otherwise directed by the Commission. If fingerprinting is required, a separate fingerprint processing fee must be added to the classification as established. Licensees with questions may contact the Commission office at each respective racetrack for details.
