(2) Exercise and pony riders.
(a) A person receiving an exercise rider - track license must first obtain an exercise rider - farm license if that person works off the grounds of a Washington race track. A person receiving a second exercise rider's license will not be charged an additional license fee for that second license.
(b) A person receiving a pony rider - track license must first obtain a pony rider - farm license if that person works off the grounds of a Washington race track. A person receiving a second pony rider's license will not be charged an additional license fee for that second license.
(3) In other cases, the license fee for multiple licenses may not exceed $146.00, except persons applying for owner, veterinarian or vendor license must pay the license fee established for each of these licenses.
The following are examples of how this section applies:
Example one - A person applies for the following licenses: Trainer ($96.00), exercise rider ($96.00), and pony rider ($96.00). The total license fee for these multiple licenses would only be $146.00.
Example two - A person applies for the following licenses: Owner ($96.00), trainer ($96.00) and exercise rider ($96.00). The total cost of the trainer and exercise rider license would be $146.00. The cost of the owner license ($96.00) would be added to the maximum cost of multiple licenses ($146.00) for a total license fee of $242.00.
Example three - A person applies for the following licenses: Owner ($96.00), vendor ($146.00), and exercise rider ($96.00). The license fees for owner ($96.00) and vendor ($146.00) are both added to the license fee for exercise rider ($96.00) for a total license fee of $338.00.
In addition to the above fees, except for association volunteers (nonpaid) at Class C race meets and those excluded as listed in WAC 260-36-100, a $10.00 fee will be added to cover the costs of conducting a fingerprint-based background check. The background check fee will be assessed only once annually per person regardless of whether the person applies for more than one type of license in that year.
The commission will review license and fingerprint fees annually to determine if they need to be adjusted to comply with RCW
67.16.020.
