Latest version.
  • The state
      racing  and  wagering  board  shall  not  grant  to  a  corporation   or
      association hereafter formed pursuant to sections two hundred twenty-two
      through  seven  hundred  five  of  this  chapter, a license to conduct a
      harness race meeting at  which  pari-mutuel  betting  may  be  conducted
      within  the  state  until  such  corporation  or  association shall have
      submitted to the board a statement  of  the  location  of  its  proposed
      grounds and racetrack, together with a plan of such racetrack, and plans
      of  all  buildings,  seating stands and other structures in such form as
      the board may prescribe, and such plans  shall  have  been  approved  in
      writing  by  the  board. Such plans shall show that its paddock and barn
      areas can accommodate and serve the needs of horses and  horse  trainers
      that  participate  in  live  racing  at  such  facility.  Alterations or
      discontinuance  of  existing  buildings,  seating   stands   and   other
      structures,  and  the  erection  of new or additional buildings, seating
      stands or other structures may be  made  only  with  the  prior  written
      approval  of the board and after examination and inspection of the plans
      thereof and the issuance of a permit therefor by the  state  racing  and
      wagering board. The board at the expense of the applicant may order such
      engineering  examination  thereof  as  the board may deem necessary. The
      approval of the certificate of  incorporation  of  such  corporation  or
      association  shall not be deemed to vest in it the right to a license to
      conduct harness race meetings at such race course  or  racetrack  unless
      such  grounds,  track,  buildings,  seating  stands and other structures
      shall be completed in accordance with the plans approved by the board.
