Section 1106. Compact committee

a.  There is hereby created an interstate
  governmental entity known as the compact committee, to be  comprised  of
  one  official  from  the  racing  commission, or its equivalent, of each
  party state, who shall be selected, serve, and be removed in  accordance
  with  the  laws  of  his  or  her party state. Each official shall have,
  pursuant to the laws of that party state, the assistance of that state's

  licensing of participants in live racing and in acting as representative
  of  that  state in the compact committee. Where an official is unable to
  perform any duty in the compact committee, his or  her  alternate  shall
  serve  until  the  original  can  return  to duty, as that party state's
  official  in  the  compact  committee.  Such  a  designation  shall   be
  communicated by that party state's racing commission, or its equivalent,
  to the compact committee, as required by the applicable by-laws.
    b.  The  chairman of the racing and wagering board shall designate the
  official, and his or her alternate, to represent New York state  in  the
  compact committee.
