Title 9 Part 4200

All powers of the commission not specifically defined in this Subchapter are reserved to the commission under the law creating the commission and specifying its powers and duties. The commission may issue such orders and directives as may be deemed by it to be in the public interest and in the interest of quarter horse racing consistent with the provisions of chapter 1023 of the Laws of 1970, as amended.

Every license to hold a race meeting is granted by the commission upon the condition that the licensee shall enforce the laws of the State of New York and shall accept and enforce all rules and regulations and commission orders and directives. It shall be the duty of every licensee and the officers, directors, employed officials and employees of the licensee to enforce the law, rules and regulations and orders and directives of the commission. Failure to enforce, or comply with such rules and regulations, orders or directives may constitute sufficient cause for revocation of a license by the commission or result in a fine, suspension or other disciplinary action by the commission.

This Subchapter may be changed or amended by a majority of the commission at a regular or a special meeting. An order or directive issued by the commission may likewise be changed or amended or overruled at a regular or special meeting of the commission. The commission may adopt new rules and regulations, make exceptions or waive any rule or regulation in individual instances if in the judgment of the commission it may be deemed advisable. However, such action shall not be deemed a precedent nor a waiver by the commission of any rule or regulation involving the same or a similar situation which may occur in the future.

The commission may rescind or modify any penalty or decision imposed or made by racing officials at any quarter horse racing meeting.
