Penalties relating to industrial insurance.
For trainers, whether at a race track or farm or training center, who fail to report correct industrial insurance requirements (number of persons in their employ and the number of horses in their care), the following penalties will be assessed:
(1) Failure to report correct number of horses on the grounds will result in a fine of one hundred dollars for each horse and full payment of premium.
(2) Failure to report proper identification of horses entering or leaving the stable area will result in a fine of fifty dollars.
(3) Failure to report the correct number of employees (grooms, assistant trainers, exercise riders - farm, and pony riders - farm) will result in a fine of one hundred dollars per month, per employee and full payment of premium.
(4) Failure to pay industrial insurance premium payment required under WAC 260-36-250 will result in a fine of one hundred dollars if payment is not received on or prior to the dates required. If the payment is not received within two days of the due date, the trainer's license will be suspended until the premium and fine are received by the commission. If a trainer leaves the grounds of a race track, taking his/her horses and fails to pay all premiums due, the trainer may be summarily suspended until the premium and the fine are received by the commission.
(5) Trainers who fail to comply with the industrial insurance requirements of WAC 260-36-250 may also have conditions placed on their license, including the inability to license farm employees, or being limited to conducting their business only on the grounds of a Washington race track during its licensed race meet and periods of training.
