Summary
The Horse Racing Law authorizes the California Horse Racing Board to issue to any person who makes an application in writing, complies with specified provisions of this law, and who makes the deposit to secure payment of the license fee, a license to conduct a horse racing meeting at the track specified in the application, provided that the board determines that the issuance of the license will be in the public interest and will subserve the purposes of the Horse Racing Law. The Horse Racing Law provides that a violation of its provisions for which a penalty is not expressly provided is a misdemeanor. The Horse Racing Law makes it a misdemeanor for a person to directly or indirectly hold or conduct a meeting where there is horse racing and betting on the results, as specified, without first having procured a license. This bill would provide that any person who, directly or indirectly, holds or conducts for profit any horse racing meeting without the proper licenses or approval from the board is guilty of a felony. By creating a new crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
