  • Preliminary Evaluation of the State Racing Commission, Maryland-Bred Race Fund Advisory Committee, and Standardbred Race Fund Advisory Committee
    Preliminary Evaluation of the State Racing Commission, Maryland-Bred Race Fund Advisory Committee, and Standardbred Race Fund Advisory Committee Recommendations: Waive from Full Evaluation at This Time Require Full Evaluation on or before July 1, 2013 Extend Termination Date by Three Years to July 1, 2014 The Sunset Review Process This evaluation was undertaken under the auspices of the Maryland Program Evaluation Act (§ 8-401 et seq. of the State Government Article), which establishes a process better known as “sunset review” because most of the agencies subject to review are also subject to termination. Since 1978, the Department of Legislative Services (DLS) has evaluated about 70 State agencies according to a statutory schedule as part of sunset review. The review process begins with a preliminary evaluation conducted on behalf of the Legislative Policy Committee (LPC). LPC decides whether to waive an agency from further (or full) evaluation. If waived, legislation to reauthorize the agency typically is enacted. Otherwise, a full evaluation typically is undertaken the following year. The State Racing Commission and its two bred fund advisory committees last underwent a full evaluation as part of sunset review during 1999. The commission and advisory committees were authorized for another 10 years, with a termination date of July 1, 2011. Department of Legislative Services staff undertook several research activities as part of this evaluation. Specifically, DLS reviewed applicable State laws and regulations, previous evaluations of the commission and other studies related to horse racing in Maryland, national literature, commission meeting minutes, annual reports, and other documents obtained from the commission. DLS also examined budgetary data; attended monthly commission meetings; conducted telephone interviews with three commissioners, including the chairman; had in-person and telephone discussions with the commission’s executive director; and visited commission offices and toured racing facilities.
