§  220.  Licenses  for participants and employees at race meetings. 1.   For the purpose of maintaining  a  proper  control  over  race  meetings   conducted  pursuant  to sections two hundred five and two hundred six of   this article, the commission shall license owners, which term  shall  be   deemed  to include part-owners and lessees, trainers, assistant trainers   and jockeys, jockey agents, stable employees, and such other persons  as   the   commission   may  by  rule  prescribe  at  running  races  and  at   steeplechases, provided, however, that no such license shall be required   for seasonal employees hired solely to work for no longer than six weeks   during the summer meet at  Saratoga  racetrack.  In  the  event  that  a   proposed  licensee  is other than a natural person, the commission shall   require by regulation disclosure of  the  names  and  addresses  of  all   owners  of an interest in such entity. The commission may retain, employ   or appoint such officers, employees and agents, as it may deem necessary   to receive, examine and make recommendations, for the  consideration  of   the  commission, in respect of applications for such licenses; prescribe   their  duties  in  connection  therewith,  and  fix  their  compensation   therefor  within the limitations prescribed by law. Each applicant for a   license shall pay to the commission an annual license  fee  as  follows:   owner's  license,  if  a  renewal,  fifty  dollars,  and  if an original   application, one hundred dollars;  trainer's  license,  thirty  dollars;   assistant  trainer's  license,  thirty  dollars; jockey's license, fifty   dollars; jockey agent's license, twenty dollars; and  stable  employee's   license,  five  dollars.  Each  applicant  may  apply  for a two-year or   three-year license by payment  to  the  commission  of  the  appropriate   multiple  of  the annual fee. The commission may by rule fix the license   fees to be paid by other persons required to be licensed by the rules of   the  commission,  not  to  exceed  thirty  dollars  per  category.   The   application  for  the  license  shall  be in writing in such form as the   commission may prescribe, and contain such information as the commission   may require. The commission shall henceforth cause  all  applicants  for   licenses   to   be   photographed   and   fingerprinted  and  may  issue   identification cards to licensees. Such fingerprints shall be  submitted   to  the  division  of  criminal  justice  services  for a state criminal   history record check, as defined in subdivision  one  of  section  three   thousand  thirty-five  of the education law, and may be submitted to the   federal bureau of investigation for a national criminal  history  record   check.  A  fee equal to the actual cost of issuance shall be charged for   the initial issuance of such identification  cards.  Each  such  license   unless  revoked  for  cause shall be for the period of no more than one,   two or three years, determined by rule of the  commission,  expiring  on   the  applicant's  birth  date. Licenses current on the effective date of   this provision shall not be reduced in duration by  this  provision.  An   applicant  who  applies for a license that, if issued, would take effect   less than six months prior to the applicant's birth date may, by payment   of a fifty percent higher fee, receive a license which shall not  expire   until  the applicant's second succeeding birth date. All receipts of the   commission derived from the operation of this section shall be  paid  by   it into the state treasury on or before the tenth day of each month. All   officials  connected  with the actual conduct of racing shall be subject   to approval by the commission.2.  If  the  commission  finds  that  the  financial   responsibility,   experience, character and general fitness of the applicant are such that   the  participation  of  such  person  will be consistent with the public   interest, convenience or necessity and with the best interests of racing   generally  in  conformity  with  the  purposes  of  this  article,   the   commission shall thereupon grant a license. If the commission finds that    the  applicant  fails to meet any of said conditions, it shall not grant   such license and it shall notify the applicant of the denial.The  commission may refuse to issue or renew a license, or may suspend   or revoke a license issued pursuant to this section, if  the  commission   finds  that  the  applicant,  or  any  person  who  is a partner, agent,   employee or associate of the applicant, has been convicted of a crime in   any jurisdiction, or is or has been associating or consorting  with  any   person  who  has or persons who have been convicted of a crime or crimes   in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions or  is  consorting  or  associating   with  or  has consorted or associated with bookmakers, touts, or persons   of similar pursuits, or  has  himself  or  herself  engaged  in  similar   pursuits,  or  is  financially  irresponsible,  or has been guilty of or   attempted any fraud or  misrepresentation  in  connection  with  racing,   breeding,  or otherwise, or has violated or attempted to violate any law   with respect to racing in any jurisdiction or any  rule,  regulation  or   order of the commission, or shall have violated any rule of racing which   shall  have  been  approved  or  adopted  by the commission, or has been   guilty of or engaged in similar, related or like practices.3. No license shall be revoked unless such revocation is by commission   determination upon a meeting of the commission. Prior to  revocation  or   suspension  of  license  a  licensee  shall  be entitled to a hearing on   notice except that summary suspension where emergency action is required   in accordance with subdivision three of section four hundred one of  the   state  administrative  procedure  act  may be ordered. In the conduct of   such hearing the commission shall not be bound  by  technical  rules  of   evidence but all evidence offered before the commission shall be reduced   to  writing,  and  such evidence together with the exhibits, if any, and   the findings of the commission, shall be permanently preserved and shall   constitute the record of the commission in such case. Such  hearing  may   be  presided  over by the chair of the commission or by any member or by   an officer of the commission designated by the chair in writing  to  act   as  hearing  officer  and such person or persons may issue subpoenas for   witnesses and administer oaths to witnesses. The hearing officer, at the   conclusion of the hearing shall make findings that, if concurred in by a   majority of the commission, shall become the findings of the commission.   The action of the commission in refusing, suspending or  in  revoking  a   license  shall be reviewable in the supreme court in the manner provided   by the provisions of article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and   rules.4. Within one year from the date of payment and upon the audit of  the   state  comptroller,  monies may be refunded for any fee paid pursuant to   this section for which no license is issued or refund  that  portion  of   the payment that is in excess of the amount prescribed by this section.
