15 U.S.C. § 3060 — State delegation; cooperation

(a) State delegation. (1) The Authority^* may agree with a State racing commission^* to implement, within that commission’s jurisdiction, part of the racetrack safety program^* or, with the anti-doping enforcement agency’s agreement under section 3054(e), part of the horseracing anti-doping and medication-control program. The Authority must determine that the commission^* can follow the Authority’s rules, standards, and requirements. (2) A State racing commission or other appropriate State regulator may not implement the part less strictly than the Authority’s rule, standard, or requirement.

(b) Cooperation. To avoid duplicate functions, facilities, and personnel and to improve coordination, effectiveness, and economy in administering Federal and State law, the Authority and Federal or State law-enforcement authorities must cooperate and share information when conduct covered by either program may involve both a program violation and a Federal or State law violation.
