Racing Administration Amendment Bill 2008.
The NSW racing industry has been given a significant boost under revised legislation that came into effect on 3 December 2008. These amendments refined the Race Fields Publication approval process that became effective on 1 September 2008.
It is now an offence under the Racing Administration Act, punishable by fines and/or imprisonment, to use NSW thoroughbred race field information without the necessary approval from Racing NSW. Approval is required for the use of NSW Thoroughbred Racing Information, rather than exclusively the publishing of the information.
In addition to the previous definitions of publish, use of includes using the information to accept or facilitate wagering in any way, such as whether recording electronically or in hard copy form, in betting ledgers or on betting tickets, using the information to accept and process bet/s by telephone, in person, by internet and whether on one horse or several horses in any one race.
Controlling bodes of the three codes of racing will now be able to grant approvals and set fees for the use of NSW race fields by wagering operators.
Certain publications, such as publication/use for not-for-profit social purposes (eg office sweeps or fundraising Calcuttas) and publication/use by certain racing organisations and media bodies are authorized under the new arrangements.
