Horse Racing Industry

RCW 51.16.210 requires the department to assess industrial insurance premiums for certain horse racing employments and create and maintain rules implementing coverage for the horse racing industry. RCW 51.04.020, RCW 51.16.035, and RCW 51.16.100 require the department to maintain a classification system. This rule is being adopted to accommodate a request from representatives of the horse racing industry, Washington Horse Racing Commission and the Horseman’s Benevolent and Protective Association, to make changes in the reporting and rating system for the industry which would encourage participation and compliance of their licensees. The changes were adopted 12/4/2012 and became effective on 1/4/2013.
