Initial Review of Rule
As a rule that does not require a RFA, RAFA or JIS, this rule will be initially reviewed in the calendar year 2021, which is no later than the 5th year after the year in which this rule is being adopted.
Assessment of Public Comment
The Commission received a letter from Assemblymember Carrie Woerner (113th Assembly District, Saratoga and Washington Counties) on December 22, 2015. Assemblymember Woerner expressed concern that the emergency rule would raise stall fees charged to owners and trainers at each of the thoroughbred tracks in New York. She urged the Commission to review and adopt the plan submitted by the Jockey Injury Compensation Fund (JICF), which would “keep the workers’ compensation rates at the 2015 level.”
At the time the emergency rule was submitted, the JICF had not submitted its 2016 plan. Shortly after the emergency rule was submitted and the JICF submitted its 2016 plan, Assemblymember Woerner spoke with Commission staff and her questions and concerns were resolved.
