Alabama § 45-49-151.09 - Application for Permit or License.

§ 45-49-151.09. Application for Permit or License.

(a) On or before the 15th day of October of each year, any person, association, or corporation possessing the qualifications prescribed in this subpart may apply to the racing commission for a permit or license to conduct race meetings and racing under this subpart. On or before the first day of December of each year, after the receipt of any application, the racing commission shall convene to consider and act upon all applications for permits or licenses. Approved permits or licenses may be granted for a period of one year or more from the date of issuance and shall set forth, in addition to any other information prescribed by the racing commission, the name of the licensee, the location of the racetrack, the duration of the race meeting, and the kind of racing desired to be conducted and shall show the receipt by the racing commission of the license fee which may be set by the racing commission. No license shall be transferable, nor shall it be valid in any other place, track, or enclosure except the one specified in the license.

(b) The racing commission shall not issue any licenses which would permit any two racetracks in the county to operate on the same racing days. After the first license has been issued to the licensee, all subsequent annual applications for a license by a permit holder shall be accompanied by proof, in a form as the racing commission may require, that the licensee still possesses the qualifications set out in this subpart. Applications for renewal of licenses shall not be denied except for due cause.
