CA AB1226

Requires the California Horse Racing Board to prohibit deductions from jockey riding fees for entry, nomination, or other fees paid by owners unless those fees are paid exclusively by the owner with no reimbursement from any other person or entity.

Establishes that violations of this provision constitute a misdemeanor under existing Horse Racing Law.

Declares the act an urgency statute that takes effect immediately upon approval by the Governor on September 30, 2013.

Specifies that no state reimbursement to local agencies or school districts is required because the act only impacts penalties for crimes under existing law.
