SECTION 325:35-1-37. Agreements to be filed

(a)   Each Organization Licensee shall file a copy of its agreement with the Horsemen's Organization representing the horse Owners and Trainers at the race meeting by October 1 of the preceding year. In the event the Organization Licensee is unable to obtain and file such an agreement by the October 1 deadline due to the lack of initiative or impasse between parties or due to other reasons, the Commission may, upon notice to the prospective parties to the agreement, conduct a hearing with regard to the conditions of the race meeting and take such actions as it may deem appropriate to ensure continuity of the racing program, including the recognition of the terms of the previous Horsemen's Representative agreement as the terms that will govern the relations between the Organization Licensee and the elected representative until such time the Commission approves an agreement submitted by the parties. The Horsemen's Organization shall provide a copy of the agreement for the conduct of the race meeting to any person requesting same. The Organization Licensee shall cause to be posted on the bulletin board of the Organization Licensee a notice of the location where a copy of the agreement may be obtained.

(b)   A Financial Statement, including benevolence activity, shall be filed with the Commission by each elected horsemen's representative organization no later than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year for which the organization was the official horsemen's representative.
