AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 07-07-007, filed 3/8/07,
effective 4/8/07)
WAC 260-28-235
Trainer -- Duty to provide employees
financial relief from injury.
At the time of submitting a
license application, or when required by other rule, all
trainers must pay the industrial insurance premium assessment
required by RCW 67.16.300 and 51.16.210 for each person in
their employment. The industrial insurance premiums will be
based on the type of race meet the trainer is licensed to
participate at and the applicable sections in chapter 260-36 WAC.
(1) Trainers who are licensed at a Class A or B race meet must pay the industrial insurance premiums established by the department of labor and industries for parimutuel horse racing at major tracks.
(2) Trainers who are licensed at a Class C race meet will pay the industrial insurance premiums established by the department of labor and industries for parimutuel horse racing for nonprofit tracks.
(3)(a) If a trainer who is licensed at a Class A or B race meet wishes to run a horse(s) at a Class C race meet during the same calendar year, the trainer from the Class A or B race meet is not required to pay any additional industrial insurance premiums to participate at a Class C race meet unless the trainer adds a groom slot or an assistant trainer, or starts different horses or adds more horses in training than they had at the Class A or B race meet. Should a trainer increase the number of employees or different horses started or in training, the trainer must pay the additional industrial insurance premiums for the Class C race meet.
(b) If a trainer who is licensed at a Class C race meet wishes to run a horse(s) at a Class A or B race meet during the same calendar year, the trainer from the Class C race meet must first pay the difference in industrial insurance premiums between what he/she has paid at the Class C race meet and the industrial insurance premiums due at the Class A or B race meet.
