OAR 462-130-0030: Informal Stewards' Hearing

The board of stewards, at their discretion, may hold an informal hearing with a licensee and any other appropriate persons in order to discuss an alleged or apparent violation of the statutes or rules of racing by the licensee. Oral notice to the licensee is sufficient to commence an informal hearing. After the hearing, no sanction or penalty may be imposed by the stewards, except those involving riding infractions, unless all affected parties agree to it.
