Existing law, the Horse Racing Law, generally regulates horse racing and parimutuel wagering on horse races. Existing law requires various deductions and distributions to be made from parimutuel pools, as specified. This bill would require a person licensed to conduct a horse racing meeting to hold in trust the distributions required to be made pursuant to the Horse Racing Law until the funds are paid to the various distributees. The bill would provide that these required deductions, except for those that enure to the benefit of the racing association, are trust funds and shall not be used by the racing association for any purpose other than for payment to those distributees as directed by the Horse Racing Law. The bill would provide that these funds are not the property of the racing association and are to be held in a separate depository account until they are actually distributed as provided for in the Horse Racing Law. By codifying requirements on licensees under the Horse Racing Law, the violation of which would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would authorize a quarter horse and harness racing association, subject to approval by the California Horse Racing Board, to deduct from the total amount handled in the parimutuel pool for any type of wager up to 2% more of the total amount handled than was authorized on May 1, 2009, and would require any amount deducted under this authority to be distributed as specified. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
