Permit Thoroughbred Horses with Digital Tattoos to Race in New York
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
This is a consensus rule making to amend section 4024.1(b)(1) of Title 9 NYCRR.
Statutory authority:
Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law, sections 103, 104(1) and (19)
Subject:
Permit Thoroughbred horses with digital tattoos to race in New York.
Purpose:
To promote the integrity of racing and derive a reasonable return for government.
Text of proposed rule:
Paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of section 4024.1 of 9 NYCRR would be amended, as follows:
§ 4024.1. Registration required to enter or start.
* * *
(b)(1) Tattoo requirement. No horse shall be allowed to enter or start in any race unless it has been [lip-tattooed] tattooed in a manner satisfactory to the commission; except that the stewards may, in their discretion, allow a horse registered with the registry of a foreign country to start in a stake or invitational race upon such terms as they deem appropriate.
Text of proposed rule and any required statements and analyses may be obtained from:
Kristen Buckley, New York State Gaming Commission, One Broadway Center, Suite 500, Schenectady, NY, (518) 388-3332, email: [email protected]
Data, views or arguments may be submitted to:
Rick Goodell, New York State Gaming Commission, One Broadway Center, Suite 500, Schenectady, NY, (518) 388-0188, email: [email protected]
Public comment will be received until:
60 days after publication of this notice.
This rule was not under consideration at the time this agency submitted its Regulatory Agenda for publication in the Register.
Consensus Rule Making Determination
The adoption of this proposed rulemaking conforms the New York State Gaming Commission (“NYSGC”) Thoroughbred rules with the nationwide digital tattoo system introduced by the national breed registry, The Jockey Club, as the means to identify registered Thoroughbred racehorses beginning with two-year old horses that race in the year 2020. Due to the technical and non-controversial nature of this amendment, no person is likely to object to the revision proposed by this amendment.
Job Impact Statement
A job impact statement is not required for this consensus rulemaking proposal because it will not adversely affect jobs or employment opportunities.
The proposal will permit a horse identified with a digital or other tattoo, not just a lip-tattoo, that is satisfactory to the Gaming Commission to participate in Thoroughbred pari-mutuel races in New York. No substantive change is proposed to the agency’s rules.
The proposed amendment will not have an impact on jobs or employment opportunities and will not impose any adverse impact on jobs or employment opportunities.
