Summary

The Authority may sign an agreement with a State racing commission to let the State run parts of the racetrack safety program or, if the anti-doping enforcement agency agrees, parts of the anti-doping and medication program. The Authority must decide the State can follow the Authority’s rules and standards. States may not run those parts in a weaker way than the Authority requires. When a case could break both racing rules and federal or state law, the Authority and law enforcement must work together and share information to avoid duplicate work and save resources.

(a)(1)The Authority may enter into an agreement with a State racing commission to implement, within the jurisdiction of the State racing commission, a component of the racetrack safety program or, with the concurrence of the anti-doping and medication control enforcement agency under section 3054(e) of this title, a component of the horseracing anti-doping and medication control program, if the Authority determines that the State racing commission has the ability to implement such component in accordance with the rules, standards, and requirements established by the Authority.

(2)A State racing commission or other appropriate regulatory body of a State may not implement such a component in a manner less restrictive than the rule, standard, or requirement established by the Authority.

(b)To avoid duplication of functions, facilities, and personnel, and to attain closer coordination and greater effectiveness and economy in administration of Federal and State law, where conduct by any person subject to the horseracing medication control program or the racetrack safety program may involve both a medication control or racetrack safety rule violation and violation of Federal or State law, the Authority and Federal or State law enforcement authorities shall cooperate and share information.
