HORSE RACE-STANDARDBRED

Amends the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975. Removes a provision providing that if the determination is made that a standardbred stallion is not owned by a resident of the State of Illinois or that a transfer of ownership is a subterfuge to qualify a standardbred stallion under the Act, or that a standardbred stallion owner, manager, or person associated with him or her has knowingly participated in the arrangements for transporting semen from a standardbred stallion registered under this Act out-of-state, the Director of the Department of Agriculture or his authorized agent shall immediately publish notice of such fact in publications devoted to news concerning standardbred horses. Removes a provision providing that if any person owning any stallion, mare or foal is found by the Director or his authorized agent to have willfully violated any provision of the Act or to have made any false statements concerning such person's stallion, mare, or foal, then no animal owned by such person is eligible to participate in specified events.
