REGULATIONS

Vol. 26 Iss. 10 - January 18, 2010

TITLE 11. GAMING

VIRGINIA RACING COMMISSION

Chapter 60

Final Regulation

REGISTRAR'S NOTICE: The Virginia Racing Commission is claiming an exemption from the Administrative Process Act pursuant to § 2.2-4002 B 12 of the Code of Virginia, which exempts agency action relating to instructions for application or renewal of a license, certificate, or registration required by law.

Title of Regulation: 11VAC10-60. Participants (amending 11VAC10-60-15).

Statutory Authority: § 59.1-369 of the Code of Virginia.

Effective Date: January 1, 2010.

Agency Contact: David S. Lermond, Jr., Regulatory Coordinator, Virginia Racing Commission, 10700 Horsemen's Lane, New Kent, VA 23024, telephone [phone], FAX [phone], or email [e-mail].

Background: The amendments allow the Virginia Racing Commission to collect a higher fee for permits issued to the participants of horse racing. The fee schedule has remained constant since the first Satellite Wagering Facility began operation in 1996. A cost per permit issued analysis was performed and it was determined that it costs the Virginia Racing Commission $58.80 for each permit that is issued, which is down from $64.31 in the prior year. It is the intent of the Virginia Racing Commission to increase the amount charged for a permit and at the same time reduce our costs so that the commission will break even on the issuance of permits in the future. The increase in fees will make Virginia's fees consistent with that of the surrounding jurisdictions.

Summary:

The amendments increase permit holder fees issued to participants of horse racing.
