The Governor appoints three members, not more than two of whom
shall belong to the same political party. Each shall have resided in
the State for five years prior to his appointment. Their terms are for
six years each.

The law creating the commission was passed at the Legislative Ses-
sion of 1920 and appears as Chapter 273. Under this law only such
persons, associations or corporations may hold or conduct any meeting
within the State of Maryland whereat horse racing shall be permitted
for any stake, purse or reward, as are licensed by the Commission.

The Racing Commission has full power to prescribe rules, regula-
tions and conditions under which all horse races are conducted; and
may make rules restricting and regulating betting on all such races;
fix and regulate the rate of charge by the licensee for an admission,
the performance of any service, or for the sale of any article on the
premises; and also may regulate the size of the purse, stake or reward
offered for the conduct of such races, and the payment of money for
salaries, fees and compensation by the licensee.

Racing on major tracks is limited to one hundred (100) days, and the
law was amended at the 1943 session of the General Assembly so that fifty
(60) of these days could be licensed for any one track. County Fair tracks
with mutual privileges may be licensed for ten (10) days each.
