the commissioner may investigate the alleged violation and employ | | such agents as necessary to aid in the investigation.__Expenses | | incurred for an investigation under this subsection are paid out of | | the general appropriation for state aid to licensees. When an | | investigation determines that a licensee has violated this chapter, | | the expense of the investigation is paid from the amount that would | | otherwise have been paid to that licensee. If a licensee against | | which the complaint is made receives its aid by special enactment, | | then the expense of the investigation is paid from the | | appropriation for that licensee. |

| | | §89.__Licensees holding pari-mutuel racing meets |
|
| | | In addition to other requirements provided in this chapter, a | | licensee that holds pari-mutuel racing meets must put on an | | agricultural fair during one racing meet each year to be eligible | | to receive a stipend.__Exhibits must be kept in an attractive | | display for a minimum of 3 consecutive days during the meet. The | | total premium payments for these exhibits must be an amount equal | | to or greater than the premiums paid for pulling contests at the | | fair and race meet, and not less than 25% of the premiums paid | | for harness horse races conducted during the annual fair. |
|
| | | The conducting of pari-mutuel betting by an entity licensed by | | the State Harness Racing Commission in accordance with Title 8, | | chapter 11 is not cause for withholding that entity's stipend. |
|
| | | 1.__Annual reports.__No later than December 31st of the year | | for which a stipend is requested, a licensee claiming a stipend | | shall file with the commissioner a statement setting forth: |
|
| | | A.__The financial condition and transactions of the | | licensee; |

| | | B.__The amounts paid in premiums in each of the classes or | | displays used to determine apportionment under section 85, | | subsection 5; and |
|
| | | C.__Additional information requested by the commissioner | | relative to the character of displays and the conduct of | | exhibitions. |
|
| | | The licensee shall submit the required information on blanks | | furnished by the commissioner. Upon receipt and after examination | | of these statements, and if the commissioner finds the submission | | to be accurate, complete and in accordance with sections 85 and | | 86, the commissioner shall issue the certificate required under | | section 88. |
