California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 8 — Special Business RegulationsChapter 4 — Horse RacingArticle 4 — Licenses for Track OperatorsSection 19489
A license issued under this article is not transferable nor does it permit the conduct of a horse racing meeting at any track not specified therein.
If, however, the track specified in a license becomes unsuitable for racing because of fire, flood, or other catastrophe, the meeting or any remaining portion thereof may be conducted at any other track specified by the board in the same area. The board may specify any other track within the area for the conduct of the meeting, whether or not such conduct would result in increasing the number of racing days in the county or area in which such track is situated. Before any other track is so specified, the board shall obtain the consent of the person licensed to conduct a meeting at the track which has become unsuitable for racing and of the owners and operators licensed to conduct a meeting at such other track.
Notes
Prohibits transfer of a license and racing at an unspecified track, but allows relocation when the licensed track becomes unsuitable because of fire, flood, or catastrophe. The board may select another track in the same area even if racing days increase, but must first obtain consent from the displaced licensee and the owners and licensed operators of the substitute track.
