Proposal Number: PRN 2010-164
Proposal
Description: The New Jersey Racing
Commission is proposing a new rule, N.J.A.C.
13:71-1.37. The proposed rule sets forth
a procedure to allow for the continuation
of live harness racing and simulcasting
in the event that a State of Emergency is
declared due to failure by the State to
enact a general appropriation law by the
deadline prescribed by the New Jersey Constitution.
Under the proposed rule, should the Governor
declare a State of Emergency, and should
employees of the Racing Commission therefore
be prevented from performing their employment
duties, a holder of a permit to conduct
a horse race meeting may, under certain
conditions, continue to hold scheduled race
and simulcast operations for up to seven
calendar days. The proposed new rule would
require any permit holder wishing to be
considered eligible to continue to hold
scheduled races and simulcast operations
during such a State of Emergency to provide
advance written notice of its intentions
to the Racing Commission on or before June
1.
Summary
of Proposal: A complete summary
of the proposed rule amendment is posted
on the New Jersey Racing Commission Web
site at: www.nj.gov/oag/racing/proposed.html
