Article 4 - Quarter Horse Racing and Breeding
421 - Approval of Plans of Corporation or Association.

§ 421. Approval of plans of corporation or association. The commission
  shall  not  grant  to  a  corporation  or  association  hereafter formed
  pursuant to sections two hundred twenty-two through seven  hundred  five
  of  this  chapter,  a license to conduct a quarter horse race meeting at
  which pari-mutuel betting may be conducted within the state  until  such
  corporation  or  association  shall  have  submitted to the commission a
  statement of  the  location  of  its  proposed  grounds  and  racetrack,
  together  with  a  plan  of  such racetrack, and plans of all buildings,
  seating stands and other structures in such form as the  commission  may
  prescribe,  and  such  plans  shall have been approved in writing by the
  commission. Alterations of existing buildings, seating stands and  other
  structures,  and  the  erection  of new or additional buildings, seating
  stands or other structures may be made only with the written approval of
  the commission and after examination and inspection of the plans thereof
  and the issuance of a permit therefor by the commission. The  commission
  at  the  expense of the applicant may order such engineering examination
  thereof as the commission  may  deem  necessary.  The  approval  of  the
  certificate  of  incorporation  of such corporation or association shall
  not be deemed to vest in it the right to a license  to  conduct  quarter
  horse  race  meetings  at  such  race  course  or  racetrack unless such
  grounds, track, buildings, seating stands and other structures shall  be
  completed in accordance with the plans approved by the commission.
