Game 13.19Game 13.19 General conflict provisions.

Game 13.19(1)(1) When an applicant applies for a license in more than one category, the division shall consider whether the holding of such multiple licensing creates the appearance of a conflict of interest such as, but not limited to, a sudden change in ownership to immediate family members or a change in ownership without adequate consideration.

Game 13.19(2)(2) The immediate family member of a racing official shall not be permitted to obtain an occupational license unless prior approval is obtained by the stewards. When considering the issuance of a license to an immediate family member of a racing official, the stewards shall consider if such licensing creates a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest, and whether it is in the best interest of racing.

Game 13.21Game 13.21 Husbands and wives. Suspension, denials or revocations against either a husband or a wife shall apply equally to the licensee’s spouse unless the division finds that the continued participation in racing by the affected spouse will not circumvent the intent of the rule or ruling by permitting one spouse to serve in essence as a substitute for a person ineligible to participate in a particular activity. In making such a decision, the stewards and division shall consider but not be limited to the following: the length of involvement in racing of the affected parties, the economic interdependence of the parties, and the nature of the licenses. However, the spouse of a person suspended for 10 or fewer days shall not be suspended.

Game 13.22Game 13.22 Transfer of a racing animal. The transfer of a racing animal by a person whose license has been suspended, denied, or revoked to circumvent a rule or ruling shall constitute a violation of these rules, and the licenses of both parties to the transfer may be suspended, revoked or a forfeiture imposed.

Immediate family member means mother, father, spouse, son, daughter, stepchildren and spouses of immediate family members.
