MARYLAND MANUAL 205 The Maryland Racing Commission, established by Chapter 273, Acts of 1920 and reorganized by Chapter 831, Acts of 1959, is composed of five members appointed by the Governor with the advice of the Secre- tary of Licensing and Regulation for five-year staggered terms. One member of the Commission must be of the minority party, and the Governor designates the chairman with the advice of the Secretary of Licensing and Regulation. The Commission licenses all persons, associations, or corporations which hold any racing meeting within the State where horseracing is permitted for any stake, purse, or reward. The Commission makes any regulations necessary to govern the races. It may also regulate the size of the purse, the price of admission, or the charge made for any article or service sold at the meets. All persons engaged in racing in Maryland under assumed names must register with the Commission and receive its permission for the use of such name. The Commission has the power to revoke or suspend the license of any person or corporation, engaged in racing within the State, that violates the racing laws or the rules of the Commission (Code 1957, 1969 Repl. Vol., Art. 78B). Maryland Standardbred Race Fund Advisory Committee Chairman: Robert W. Furtick, 1974 Earle P. Brown, 1974; Charles E. Keller, 1974; John H. Burbage, 1974; William J. Collins, 1974.
