NEW SECTION
WAC 260-28-035 Partnership disputes.
Partnerships which result in a dispute over financial obligations, ownership, or other issues may be addressed by the board of stewards under the following conditions:
(1) An agreement, signed and notarized by each partner, is on file with the commission indicating ownership percentage, purse distribution, and any financial obligations prior to the dispute.
(2) A copy of a notarized agreement, signed by each partner, is presented to the commission with the requirements in subsection (1) of this section and is dated prior to the dispute.
(3) The board of stewards may mediate any dispute if all parties are in agreement with the attempt to mediate. Failure to settle the dispute at an initial mediation will result in all horses involved being placed on the stewards list until such time as the matter is settled.
