Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HB 1089 clarifies the representation of horse breeds in live racing events. Specifically, it establishes that the organizations elected by horsemen in 2003 will remain the official representatives for both Thoroughbred and mixed-breed horsemen. This change is important because it provides a clear framework for how racing organizations will negotiate terms and conditions for races, ensuring fair representation and distribution of earnings for all participating horse breeds.

This bill modifies the negotiation and covenant requirements for organization licensees in horse racing concerning representation and funding.

  • 3A O.S. 2021, Section 267

    Organization licensees shall negotiate and covenant with the official representative for each breed participating at any race meeting as to the conditions for each race meeting, the distribution of commissions and purses not governed by statutory distribution formulae, simulcast transmission and reception, off-track wagering, all matters relating to welfare, benefits and prerogatives of the participants in the meet, and any other matter required as a matter of law or necessity.

    This clause clarifies the obligations of organization licensees regarding negotiations with official breed representatives.

  • 3A O.S. 2021, Section 267

    During race meets at which there is more than one official representative for horsemen, each official representative association shall designate an equal number of horsemen to serve on a single committee that will periodically meet with the organization licensee to discuss and facilitate track management operations.

    This establishes a requirement for equal representation on a committee during race meets involving multiple official representatives.

  • 3A O.S. 2021, Section 267

    Any participating horsemen may with written notice filed with the track's horsemen's bookkeeper elect to opt out of representation by the above-referenced organizations.

    This provision allows participating horsemen to choose to opt out of representation, providing them with more autonomy.

  • 3A O.S. 2021, Section 267

    In the event more than fifty percent (50%) of the total participating horsemen for a single breed opt to be excluded, the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission may determine that an election be held among all participating horsemen of that breed to designate an alternate representative organization.

    This gives the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission the authority to hold elections for an alternate representative if a majority of horsemen opt out.

  • 3A O.S. 2021, Section 267

    The official horsemen's representative organizations, and any breed organizations receiving funding as a result of this act, shall provide the Commission annually with a complete financial accounting for the use of all funds received pursuant to this act.

    This mandates financial transparency from representative organizations regarding the use of funds.

  • 3A O.S. 2021, Section 267

    The official horsemen's representative organization shall administer the benevolence program for participants in each live race meeting and a complete accounting of those funds along with the guidelines for administration and determination of eligibility for the benevolence program are subject to approval by the Commission.

    This specifies the duty of the official horsemen's representative organization in managing the benevolence program and ensures oversight by the Commission.
