Section 205.509 - Reciprocity of penalty imposed by other racing authorities

(a) All penalties imposed by other racing authorities, state racing commissions or the USTA shall be recognized and fully enforced by the Commission unless application is made by the licensee for a hearing before the Commission at which time the applicant may show cause as to why the penalty should not be enforced against him in this Commonwealth. If a hearing is granted, the Commission may delay enforcement of the reciprocal penalty.

(b) When the Commission receives notice that a person or horse, or both, has been penalized by another racing authority, state racing commission or by the USTA, the Commission may, for good cause shown and upon consideration of the record of the proceedings before the racing authorities and state racing commissions, modify or adjust the penalty accordingly to conform with the Commission's regulations.

(c) Notwithstanding the previous provisions, the Commission may conduct its own original inquiry and investigation regarding the penalties imposed by another racing authority or state racing commission and may take separate action based on the conclusion of its investigation.
