PART 8. TEXAS RACING
COMMISSION
CHAPTER 319. VETERINARY PRACTICES
AND DRUG TESTING
SUBCHAPTER A. GENERAL PROVISIONS
16 TAC 319.5
The Texas Racing Commission proposes an amendment to 16
TAC 319.5. The section relates to the treatment records of vet-
erinarians who treat race animals. The proposed amendment
would clarify that the Commission's veterinarians may request
and inspect the veterinary records of race animals. The proposal
also clarifies that any veterinary records provided under the rule
would become part of the Commission's confidential investiga-
tory files.
Chuck Trout, Executive Director, has determined that for the first
five-year period the amendment is in effect there will be no fiscal
implications for state or local government as a result of enforcing
the amendment.
Mr. Trout has determined that for each year of the first five years
that the amended rule is in effect the anticipated public benefit
will be to enhance the Commission's ability to ensure the safety
and integrity of racing. While the rule currently provides that the
stewards and racing judges may require the production of vet-
erinary records, it is the Commission's veterinarians who have
the experience and training necessary to properly interpret these
records.
The Commission does not expect or intend that the amendment
will result in any incremental increase in requests for veterinary
records. Therefore, the amendment will have no adverse eco-nomic effect on small or micro-businesses and preparation of an
economic impact statement and a regulatory flexibility analysis
is not required.
There are no negative impacts upon employment conditions in
this state as a result of the proposed amendment.
The amendment will have no effect on the state's agricultural,
horse breeding, horse training, greyhound breeding, and grey-
hound training industry.
All comments or questions regarding the proposed amendment
may be submitted in writing within 30 days following publica-
tion of this notice in the Texas Register to Mark Fenner, Gen-
eral Counsel for the Texas Racing Commission, at P.O. Box
12080, Austin, Texas 78711-2080, telephone (512) 833-6699,
or fax (512) 833-6907.
The amendment is proposed under Texas Revised Civil Statutes
Annotated, Article 179e, 3.02, which authorizes the Commis-
sion to adopt rules to administer the Act, and 3.07, which re-
quires the Commission to adopt rules specifying the authority
and duties of each racing official.
The amendment implements Texas Revised Civil Statutes An-
notated, Article 179e.
319.5. Report of Treatment by Veterinarians.
(a) Veterinarians who treat race animals shall maintain reports
of the treatment in strict compliance with the requirements of the
Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. Veterinarians
shall make the report available to a steward, [er] judge or Commission
veterinarian within 24 hours of a request.
(b) A report of treatment provided to the stewards, [or] racing
judges or a Commission veterinarian pursuant to subsection (a) of this
section becomes part of the confidential investigatory files of the Com-
mission. [is confidential and its contents may not be dise lsed except in
a proceeding before the stewards or racing judges or the commission.]
This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal author-
ity to adopt.
