1997 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 59.1-372 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 59.1-372. Virginia Breeders Fund.
There is hereby created within the State Treasury the Virginia Breeders Fund,
which fund, together with the interest thereon, shall be administered in
whole or in part by the Commission or by an entity designated by the
Commission. The cost of administration of administering
and promoting the fund shall be deducted from the fund and the balance
shall be disbursed by the Commission or designated entity to the
breeders and owners of Virginia-bred horses that win races in
Virginia at race meetings designated by the Commission, to the
owners of Virginia sires of Virginia-bred horses that win races in
Virginia at race meetings designated by the Commission, to the
owners of Virginia-bred horses that win nonrestricted races at racetracks in
Virginia licensed by the Commission and for purses for races restricted
to Virginia-bred horses at race meetings designated by the
Commission. To assist it in establishing this awards and incentive
program to foster the industry of breeding racehorses in Virginia, the
Commission shall appoint an advisory committee composed of two members from
each of the registered breed associations representing each breed of horse
participating in the fund program, one member representing the owners and
operators of racetracks and one member representing all of the meets sanctioned
by the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association.
2. That an emergency exists and this act is in force from its passage.
