§  409.  Licenses for participants and employees at quarter horse race   meetings. 1. For the  purpose  of  maintaining  a  proper  control  over   quarter  horse  race meetings conducted pursuant to sections two hundred   twenty-two through seven hundred five of this  chapter,  the  commission   may  license  jockeys  or riders and such other persons participating in   quarter horse race meets, as  the  commission  may  by  rule  prescribe,   including,  if  the  commission deems it necessary to do so, owners, and   some or all persons exercising their occupation or employed  at  quarter   horse  race  meets.  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, twenty dollars; assistant trainer's license,   twenty dollars; jockey's license, fifty dollars; jockey agent's license,   twenty dollars; farrier's license, twenty dollars; and stable employee's   license, five dollars. Such fees shall be paid to the commission and  by   it  paid  into  the  state  treasury. 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 twenty dollars per category. All   such licenses, unless revoked for cause, shall be for the period  of  no   more  than  one,  two  or  three  years,  as  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   that shall not expire until  the  applicant's  second  succeeding  birth   date.  For  each category of license, the applicant may apply for a two-   or three-year license by payment to the commission  of  the  appropriate   multiple  of  the  annual fee. The applications for licenses shall be in   writing, accompanied by fingerprints and a photograph of the  applicant,   and  shall  be  in such form, and contain such other information, as the   commission may require. 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.Every person employed by such association or corporation  licensed  to   conduct   pari-mutuel  quarter  horse  racing,  including  officers  and   directors thereof, whether or not such person be  licensed,  shall  file   fingerprints  and  a  photograph  with the commission within thirty days   after being so employed or taking such  office.  Every  person  employed   after  January  first, nineteen hundred seventy-one, by such association   or corporation, including officers and directors thereof, whether or not   such person be licensed, shall file fingerprints and a  photograph  with   the  commission  within  ten  days after such employment or after taking   such office. The fingerprints so obtained from applicants  for  licenses   and  from employees not to be licensed shall be forthwith transmitted by   the commission to the division of criminal justice services and may also   be submitted to  the  federal  bureau  of  investigation  or  any  other   government  agency  having  facilities for checking fingerprints for the   purpose of establishing the identity and the previous  criminal  record,   if  any,  of  such  person  and  such  agency  shall promptly report its   findings to the commission in writing.2. If the commission finds that the experience, character and  general   fitness  of the applicant are such that the participation of such person   in quarter horse race meets will be consistent with the public interest,   convenience  and  necessity  and  with  the  best  interests  of  racing   generally  in  conformity  with  the  purposes  of  sections two hundred    twenty-two through seven hundred five of this  chapter,  the  commission   may grant a license.Without  limiting  the generality of the foregoing, the commission may   refuse to issue a license, pursuant to this section, if  the  commission   finds that the applicant has:a. been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude;b. engaged in bookmaking or other form of illegal gambling;c.  been  found guilty of any fraud or misrepresentation in connection   with racing or breeding;d. been found guilty of any violation or attempt to violate  any  law,   rule  or  regulation  of racing in any jurisdiction for which suspension   from racing might be imposed in such jurisdiction; ore. violated any rule, regulation  or  order  of  the  commission.  The   commission  may  suspend  or  revoke  a  license issued pursuant to this   section if the commission determines that (i) the applicant or  licensee   (1)  has  been  convicted  of a crime involving moral turpitude; (2) has   engaged in bookmaking or other form of illegal gambling;  (3)  has  been   found guilty of any fraud in connection with racing or breeding; (4) has   been  guilty  of  any  violation  or attempt to violate any law, rule or   regulation of any racing jurisdiction for which suspension  from  racing   might  be  imposed  in  such jurisdiction; or (5) has violated any rule,   regulation or order of the commission, or (ii) the experience, character   or general fitness of  any  applicant  or  licensee  is  such  that  the   participation  of  such  person  in  quarter  horse  racing  or  related   activities would be inconsistent with the public  interest,  convenience   or necessity or with the best interests of racing generally.3. Pending final determination of any question under this section, the   commission  may issue a temporary license upon such terms and conditions   as the commission may deem necessary, desirable or proper to  effectuate   the  provisions of sections two hundred twenty-two through seven hundred   five of this chapter.
