SUBJECT: Qualification of Horsemen's Benevolent and
Protective Association to Conduct Licensed
Horseracing in Nebraska.
REQUESTED BY: Senator Stan Schellpeper
Nebraska State Legislature
WRITTEN BY: Don Stenberg, Attorney General
L. Jay Bartel, Assistant Attorney General
You have requested our opinion on several questions concerning
the qualification of the Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective
Association [HBPA] to conduct licensed horseracing in Nebraska.
You state that the Nebraska State Racing Commission [Commission]
is to consider an application by the HBPA for a license to conduct
a live thoroughbred horse race meeting at Fonner Park in 1997.
Your questions concern whether the granting of such a license to
the HPBA is consistent with various existing statutes governing the
conduct of race meetings. If we conclude that it is not, you
indicate that you may consider amendatory legislation to address
