All drivers, judges, starters, starting gate drivers and marshals shall be required to submit to a breath analyzer test at each racing program in which they participate. All other licensees may be required to submit to a breath analyzer test at each racing program in which they participate.

If the second test results confirm a reading of more than 0.05 percent of alcohol in the blood such driver shall not be permitted to drive and an investigation will be started to determine if there has been a violation of chapter 7, Section 53, subsection 1, paragraph C.2.
