Title 9 Part 4046

In the event that JICF has failed to submit, by the submission deadline, a subsequent-year plan, the commission may assess to JICF, as compensation for the administrative burden of performing the JICF’s statutory work, a civil penalty equal to actual commission costs incurred, which amount shall not exceed the maximum set forth in Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law section 116.

In the event that JICF has failed to submit, by the submission deadline, a subsequent-year plan, the commission shall order JICF to accept the offer of an insurance carrier to provide workers’ compensation insurance, as required by section 221 of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law and the Workers’ Compensation Law, to JICF for the subsequent year, as selected by the commission in the commission’s sole and absolute discretion, and JICF shall bind such coverage. Such policy shall remain in effect unless superseded by a plan submitted by the JICF and approved by the commission.

In the event that JICF has failed to submit, by the submission deadline, a subsequent-year plan, each thoroughbred owner and trainer shall pay as follows, unless such assessment is modified by the commission or superseded by a plan submitted by JICF and approved by the commission:

In the event that a subsequent-year plan is put into effect by this Part, all other elements other than assessment of the most recently approved JICF plan of operation, including those described in Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law section 221(8)(c), remain in effect.

JICF shall engage, on or before March 1, 2016, a risk management consultant acceptable to the commission, at the sole cost and expense of JICF. Such consultant shall review past and current claims and losses and make recommendations to JICF and the commission, on or before September 30, 2016, for JICF risk management practices and controls.

JICF shall publish this Part in one or more trade publications likely to be obtained by owners and trainers, as required by Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law section 221(8)(a), at the sole cost and expense of JICF, as soon as practicable.
