RACING COMMISSION
Approval of Fee Schedule
[43 Pa.B. 3459]
[Saturday, June 22, 2013]The State Harness Racing Commission (Commission) establishes its revised schedule of occupational license fees. This license fee schedule is issued under authority granted the Commission by the Race Horse Industry Reform Act (act) (4 P. S. §§ 325.101—325.402).
The act requires the Commission to license trainers, drivers, horse owners, persons participating in harness horse race meetings and all other persons and vendors exercising their occupation or employed at harness horse race meetings. See section 213(a) of the act (4 P. S. § 325.213(a)). It also requires the Commission to fix the fee for each license and provides that each license shall be issued for a 3-year term.
The Commission recognizes fingerprint reciprocity with other harness racing jurisdictions. A 3-year license may be issued for all persons who have a current license in another harness racing jurisdiction and may have been FBI fingerprinted in a harness racing jurisdiction with which the Commonwealth has reciprocity. This applies to owners, trainers and any classification combination thereof. The following are those harness racing jurisdictions for which fingerprints will be accepted: California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma and Virginia. Only new and renewal applicants for an owner's license may omit the picture requirement unless entering the stable area. Make the check or money order payable to ''Pa Harness Racing Commission'' and mail to one of the racetrack offices listed at the top of the license application.
The Commission approves and establishes the following occupational license fees. This fee schedule takes effect as of July 1, 2013, and supersedes any previous fee schedule approved and issued by the Commission.
