Bill > SB800

This bill makes several changes to California's horse racing regulations: 1. It allows veterinarians to disclose the entire medical record of a horse that has participated or is intended to participate in a licensed horse race to anyone responsible for the horse's direct medical care, the California Horse Racing Board, other government entities, and the racing association or fair conducting the race. This is an exception to the general veterinarian-client confidentiality requirement. 2. It requires the California Horse Racing Board to publish on its website all racehorse fatalities related to racing or training that occur within a licensed facility. 3. It changes the procedure for handling racehorse drug test samples - the results will be kept confidential until the independent laboratory confirms the prohibited substance or the owner/trainer waives the split sample test, and the board must post the results of all non-confidential official test samples within 5 business days. 4. It states that no reimbursement is required for this act because it creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction.
