PROPOSED ACTION ON REGULATIONS Information contained in this document is published as received from agencies and is not edited by Thomson Reuters. TITLE 4. HO RSE RACING BOARD NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO AMEND RULE 1891.1 PENALTY FOR POSSESSION OF ELECTRICAL DEVICE The California Horse Racing Board (Board or CHRB) proposes to amend the regulation described below after considering all comments, objections or recommendations regarding the proposed action.

PROPOSED REGULATORY ACTION The Board proposes to amend Rule 1891.1, Penalty for Possession of Electrical Device, to clarify that cases involving possession of an electrical device shall be referred to the stewards for hearing and adjudication. The purpose of this proposed amendment is to return to the stewards the authority to hear cases involving the possession of an electrical device. In 2015, the Board adopted Rule 1891.1 to require that cases involving the possession of an electrical device be punished by revocation of license.

The revocation of a license requires a formal hearing, as prescribed by the Government Code, which is heard by or with the assistance of Administrative Law Judges appointed by the Office of Administrative Hearings. This formal process is often protracted leaving both licensees and the Board without finality. Furthermore, the requirement that a license be revoked prohibits the Board from considering factors in mitigation as there is no leeway in punishment. As such, the Board proposes to amend Rule 1891.1 to return the authority to hear these cases to the stewards.

This change will result in a more efficient and fair administration of justice in these cases. PUBLIC HEARING The Board will hold a public hearing starting at 9:30 a.m., Thursday, April 21, 2021, or as soon after that as business before the Board will permit, via teleconference. In accordance with the guidance form Executive Order N–29–20, a physical location will not be provided. Members of the public are strongly encouraged to participate using the teleconference phone number provided below so as to minimize the spread of COVID–19 and reduce the risk of infection during this current state of emergency.

At the hearing, any person may present statements or arguments orally or in writing about the proposed action described in the informative digest. It is requested, but not required, that persons making oral comments at the hearing submit a written copy of their testimony. To participate in the teleconference, dial 888–392– 4564 and enter 6896291# when prompted. WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Any interested persons, or their authorized representative, may submit written comments about the proposed regulatory action to the Board. The written comment period closes on April 6, 2021 .

The Board must receive all comments at that time; however, written comments may still be submitted at the public hearing. Submit comments to: Robert Brodnik, General Counsel California Horse Racing Board 1010 Hurley Way, Suite 300 Sacramento, CA 95825 Telephone (916) 263–6025 Fax: (916) 263–6022 E–Mail: rjbrodnik@chrb.ca.gov AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Authority cited: Sections 19420, and 19440, Business and Professions Code. Reference Sections: 19460, and 19523, Business and Professions Code.

Section 337f(a)(1), Penal Code. Business and Professions Code Sections 19420 and 19440 authorize the Board to adopt the proposed regulation, which would implement, interpret or make specific sections 19460 and 19523, Business and Professions Code INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Business and Professions Code

section 19420 gives the Board jurisdiction and supervision over meetings in California where horse races with wagering on their results are held. Business and Professions Code

section 19440 states that the Board shall have all powers necessary and proper to enable it to adopt rules and regulations for the protection of the public and the control of horse racing. Business and Professions Code

section 19460 provides that all licenses granted by the Board are subject to all rules, regulations, and conditions prescribed by the Board. Penal Code 189 CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 8-Z

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 8-Z 190

section 337f(a)(1) defines the use of any device not generally accepted as regulation racing equipment, to stimulate or depress a horse, as a misdemeanor. Board Rule 1890, Possession of Contraband, subsection (

c) states that no person shall have in his possession, on the premises during any recognized meeting, any electrical stimulating or shocking device commonly known as a battery, or any mechanical stimulating device, or any other appliance, which might affect the speed or actions of a horse. Board Rule 1891, Seizure of Contraband, states that contraband defined in Rule 1890 will be confiscated from any person within the inclosure. The proposed amendment Rule 1891.1, Penalty for Possession of Electrical Device, will restore authority to the stewards to hear cases involving possession of electrical device. The proposed amendment to Rule 1891.1(

a) provides that a complaint against a licensee for violation of or conspiring to violate Rule 1890(

c) shall be referred to the Board of Stewards for hearing and adjudication. This is necessary to clarify that the appropriate venue for these cases will be before the Board of Stewards, which is the adjudicatory body of all other license complaints. This amendment will bring consistency pertaining to licensee complaints. The proposed amendment to subsection (

b) strikes the requirement mandating revocation of license for a licensee found to have violated Rule 1890(c). This amendment is necessary to allow for greater consideration of mitigating factors in considering punishment. Under the proposed amendment, hearings for possession of an electrical device will be conducted under the same procedure afforded to any other type of complaint. The outcome and penalty determination will be administered based on facts of the case, including aggravating and mitigating factors. The possible penalties can include suspension or fine.

Alternatively, if the Stewards believed the case was so egregious as to require revocation, they retain their authority under Rule 1529 to refer the case to the Board for hearing pursuant to Rule 1529, Referral to the Board.

Rule 1529 states, “the Stewards may refer any matter within their jurisdiction to the Board when the penalty the Stewards have jurisdiction to impose is insufficient when a hearing cannot be held under the conditions or in the manner prescribed, when a hearing is impractical due to conclusion of the meeting, or for other good and sufficient cause, and they may order the suspension of the licensee pending further Order of the Board.

In such event, the Board shall accept the matter for hearing and adjudication or such other action as the Board deems to be in the best interests of justice.” Additional amendments to the text are for consistency and numbering purposes. FORMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE There is no form associated with this regulation. POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW OF ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF PROPOSAL The proposed amendment of Rule 1891.1 will enhance the Board’s enforcement of cases involving possession of an electrical device by making the process more efficient.

Presently, Rule 1891.1 requires that cases involving the possession of an electrical device be punished by revocation of license. The revocation of a license requires a formal hearing, as prescribed by the Government Code, which is heard by or with the assistance of Administrative Law Judges appointed by the Office of Administrative Hearings. This formal process is often protracted, leaving both licensees and the Board without finality. Furthermore, the requirement that a license be revoked prohibits the Board from considering factors in mitigation as there is no leeway in punishment.

As such, the Board proposes to amend Rule 1891.1 to return the authority to hear these cases to the Stewards. This change will result in a more efficient and fair administration of justice in these cases. The efficiency of the process will also benefit the industry by enhancing the sport’s integrity. Licensees who have violated the rule can expect a hearing on the complaint with 10 days’ notice,

whereas cases adjudicated through the Office of Administrative Hearings on average can take months. Commonly, licensees remain active while their cases are adjudicated which can confuse the public and lead to distrust that perceived “cheaters” are allowed to continue to participate. CONSISTENCY EVALUATION During the process of developing the amendments, the Board has conducted a search of any similar regulations on this topic and has concluded that the amendment is neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations.

DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION Mandate on local agencies and school districts: none. Cost or savings to any state agency: none. Cost to any local agency or school district that must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code Sections 17500 through 17630: none. Other non–discretionary costs or savings imposed upon local agencies: none. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: none.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 8-Z 191 The Board has made an initial determination that the proposed amendment of Rule 1891.1 will not have a significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. The following studies/relevant data were relied upon in making the above determination: The Board did not rely on any technical, theoretical, and/or empirical study, reports or documents in proposing the amendment of Rule 1891.1.

Cost impact on representative private persons or businesses: none. The Board is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. Significant effect on housing costs: none. RESULT OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS The proposed amendment of Rule 1891.1 will not (1) create or eliminate jobs within California; (2) create new businesses or eliminate existing businesses within California; or (3) affect the expansion of businesses currently doing business within California.

The proposed amendment of Rule 1891.1 will enhance Board’s enforcement of cases involving possession of an electrical device by making the process more efficient and fair. The proposed amendment will benefit California residents’ welfare by making the process for adjudicating these cases more efficient and fair. The proposed amendment will not benefit the health of California residents, worker safety, or the State’s environment. Effect on small businesses: none. The proposed amendment of Rule 1891.1 will not affect small businesses because horse racing is not a small business under Government Code

Section 11342.610. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

Section 11346.5, subdivision (a)(13), the Board must determine that no reasonable alternative considered by the Board, or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the Board, would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, or would be as effective and less burdensome on affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

The Board invites interested persons to present statements or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulation at the scheduled hearing or during the written comment period.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST The California Department of Public Health (Department) proposes to make minor amendments to California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 17, Sections 7000, 7002 and 7014. First, Assembly Bill (AB) 1810 (Ting,

Chapter 34, Statutes of 2018) shortened the public comment period for state–authorized syringe exchange program (SEP) applications in Health and Safety Code (HSC) from 90 days to 45 days; the Department proposes to make the corresponding change in regulations. Second, the Department proposes to remove the words “local ordinances” from CCR Title 17,

Section 7002(a)(13)(

A) and

Section 7014 to be in compliance with HSC 121349(c). BACKGROUND AND

SUMMARY OF EXISTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS Authority and Reference HSC

Section 131200 authorizes the Department to adopt and enforce regulations for the execution of its duties. Per HSC

Section 131019, the Office of AIDS is the lead agency within the state responsible for coordinating HIV/AIDS–related programs. HSC

Section 121349 gives the Department the authority to authorize SEPs. AB 1810 removed all sunset provisions from the SEP authorization program and extended the operation of these provisions indefinitely. Background and Existing Laws The practice of sharing needles and syringes, which is common among people who inject drugs (PWID), poses a substantial risk for the spread of bloodborne diseases, including HIV and viral hepatitis. Paraphernalia possession laws in many states, including California, have in the past made it difficult or illegal for PWID to obtain and possess

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 8-Z 193 sterile syringes and difficult or illegal for agencies that serve them to provide them with sterile syringes. Such statutory barriers have consistently been found to be associated with increased sharing of syringes and increased prevalence of HIV. Removing those barriers is a key HIV prevention strategy endorsed by the California Legislature and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which funds the prevention efforts of the Office of AIDS.

Supporting syringe exchange programs is one of the strategies of the federal government’s current “Ending the HIV Epidemic” plan. SEPs have been operating in California since the late 1980s, providing sterile injection equipment, disposing of used syringes and providing linkages to health care and social services. Since the passage of AB 136 (Mazzoni,

Chapter 762, Statutes of 1999), organizations in California that provide syringe exchange services have been permitted to apply for authorization to local (city or county) governments. HSC 121349 and Business and Professions Code

Section 4145 outline the mechanisms by which a SEP may be authorized to operate. Regulations approved in 2014 allow the Department to authorize SEPs in locations where the Department determines that the conditions exist for rapid spread of HIV or viral hepatitis. Organizations that want to add syringe exchange services may apply directly to the Department’s Office of AIDS for authorization, rather than to their local county or city government. Applications must meet minimal requirements outlined by the law to be considered.

CCR, Title 17, Sections 7000–7016 define the application process, as well as the reauthorization process for state– authorized entities. All state–authorized SEPs are required to submit a yearly progress report. They may apply for reauthorization prior to the end of the two– year authorization period. Effectiveness of Syringe Exchange Programs The first SEP was established in California in 1988; there are currently 62 SEPs in the state. SEPs have been rigorously studied since they were first introduced in the mid–1980s in response to injection–related HIV transmission.

As CDC has summarized, this evidence has shown that SEPs: ● Reduce HIV and viral hepatitis transmission; ● Reduce overdose mortality; ● Increase entry into substance use disorder treatment; ● Reduce needle–stick injuries; ● Save money; and ● Do not increase drug use or crime. The impact of SEPs has been most notable in terms of controlling the HIV epidemic: between 2008 and 2014, the annual HIV diagnoses among PWID in the U.S. fell by half.

In jurisdictions where SEPs were adopted early and publicly funded, injection–related HIV transmission has been steeply reduced, such as in San Francisco where the number of infections decreased by two–thirds 1, or New York City where HIV prevalence among PWID fell from 54% in 1990 to 3% in 2012. SEPs also play an important role in preventing the transmission of HCV, in linking individuals to substance use disorder treatment, and in safe disposal of used syringes.

Studies have found, for example, that cities with SEPs have less syringe litter than those that don’t have SEPs, and that syringes obtained from SEPs are more likely to be safely disposed than those acquired from other sources. Unintended Conflict Between Law and Regulation Some local governments that do not support the establishment of authorized SEPs within their jurisdictions are taking steps to circumvent the intent of HSC 121349 by blocking SEPs from operating through issuing restrictive local ordinances.

However, the law is designed such that the state can authorize a SEP specifically because not all jurisdictions, even those who have a high need, support the operation of SEPs within their boundaries. The law specifically provides preemption language to make clear that a state authorization under HSC 121349 overrides any other laws.

The law provides: “In order to reduce the spread of HIV infection, viral hepatitis, and other potentially deadly bloodborne infections, the State Department of Public Health may, notwithstanding any other law, authorize entities that provide services set forth in paragraph (1) of subdivision (d), and that have sufficient staff and capacity to provide the services described in

Section 121349.1, as determined by the department, to apply for authorization under this

chapter to provide hypodermic needle and syringe exchange services consistent with state standards in any location where the department determines that the conditions exist for the rapid spread of HIV, viral hepatitis, or any other potentially deadly or disabling infections that are spread through the sharing of used hypodermic needles and syringes [emphasis added].” The improper inclusion of reference to local ordinances in CCR Title 17,

Section 7002(a)(13)(

A) and

Section 7014 in the 2014 regulations has created a direct conflict with the law and had the effect of subverting the Legislature’s stated intent of the preemption language in HSC

Section 121349. This error in the regulations opened an opportunity for 1 San Francisco Department of Public Health, Population Health Division. Syringe Access and Disposal Services. (May 2018), https://www.sfdph.org/dph/hc/HCCommPublHlth/ Agendas/2018/May%2015/syringeprez.pdf.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 8-Z 194 local ordinances to improperly shut down a SEP 2 that was otherwise approved through the legal mechanism in HSC 121349, could cause many communities deemed to be in need of SEP services to be denied access. POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Problem Statement: In 2018, AB 1810 was signed into law, amending HSC 121349(e). This changed the public comment period for state–authorized SEP applications from 90 days to 45 days. It is required that CCR, Title 17, Sections 7000 and 7002 be updated to reflect that change. CCR, Title 17,

Section 7002(a)(13)(

A) defines one of the steps for state–authorized applicants. It states that SEP applicants must provide a signed statement attesting to “compliance with state laws, regulations and local ordinances.”

Section 7014 states “the program and its staff shall operate and furnish services in compliance with all applicable state laws, regulations and local ordinances.” CCR, Title 17,

Section 7002(a)(13)(

A) and

Section 7014 should not have included “local ordinances” as part of the regulations. This has caused numerous issues. First, it has given some local governments the impression that they have authority over the approval and oversight of state–authorized SEPs. This occurred when the City of Santa Ana moved to close Orange County Needle Exchange Program (OCNEP), a state–authorized SEP. The Department then followed all requirements in HSC 121349 and authorized OCNEP to operate a mobile outreach program.

The County of Orange along with several local jurisdictions subsequently filed suit against OCNEP and the Department to void the authorization. A second issue is that some community groups applying for authorization with the state are under the mistaken impression they must be approved by local government as well as the Department in order to be authorized. As a result, community groups may be hesitant to apply for authorization if their local government has indicated that they are not interested in approving a SEP.

This misunderstanding is being communicated to the public and creating false expectations for community members opposed to SEPs, who may believe that local government can halt Department authorization of syringe services in their jurisdictions. 2 County of Orange, Orange County Flood Control District, City of Costa Mesa, City of Orange and City of Anaheim v. Califor - nia Department of Public Health and Orange County Needle Ex - change Program Case No. 37–2018–00039176–CU–MC–CTL Consolidated with 37–2018–00042617–CU–TT–CLT Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego.

Objectives (Goals): The objectives of this regulatory proposal are to: ● C reate consistency between HSC and CCR in defining the public comment period; and ● C orrect the current regulations by removing “local ordinances” from the regulations to be in compliance with AB 604. BENEFITS Regulations are required to clarify and implement statute: these changes will improve both clarity and implementation.

Additional benefits of this proposal are as follows: ● A mended regulations will be in compliance with changes to HSC 121349 made by AB 1810; and ● A mendments will remove ambiguity and clearly define the authority of the Department to authorize and oversee state–authorized SEPs notwithstanding any other law.

For further discussion of benefit analysis, please see Results of The Economic Impact Analysis EVALUATION AS TO WHETHER THE REGULATIONS ARE INCONSISTENT OR INCOMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING STATE REGULATIONS The Department has made a determination that these regulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with other state regulations. The Department evaluated this proposal and determined that, if adopted, it will not be inconsistent or incompatible with existing state regulations.

This evaluation included a review of the Department’s existing general regulations and those regulations specific to the implementation the Syringe Exchange Regulations. Internet search of other California state agency regulations determined that no other state regulation addresses the same subject matter. SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCE FROM FEDERAL REGULATION OR STATUTE State regulations are required, as there are no federal regulations governing the authorization of SEPs. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE None.

AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE HSC

Section 131200 authorizes the Department to adopt and enforce regulations for the execution of its duties. Per HSC

Section 131019, the Office of AIDS is the lead agency within the state responsible for coordinating HIV/AIDS–related programs. HSC

Section 121349 gives the Department the authority to authorize SEPs. AB 1810 removed all sunset provisions from the SEP authorization program and extended the operation of these provisions indefinitely. MANDATED BY FEDERAL LAW OR REGULATIONS State regulations are required, as there are no federal regulations governing the authorization of SEPs. OTHER STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Health and Safety Code 121349, California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 17, Sections 7000–7016, Business & Professions Code

Section 4145. LOCAL MANDATE The Department has determined that this regulatory action would not impose a mandate on local agencies or school districts, nor are there any costs for which reimbursement is required by

part 7 (commencing with

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 8-Z 196 FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT ● The estimated cost to any local agency or school district requiring reimbursement: no costs. ● The estimated cost or savings to any state agency: If the Department certifies 5 additional SEPs, each of which averts an average of 6 HIV infections (for a statewide total of 30 infections averted) then SEP certification results in a yearly benefit to the state of $596,074 per year ($19,870 cost per year x 5 SEP x 6 averted infections).

Subtract the estimated overall operating cost of an SEP per year ($250,003) and the overall savings is $346,071. More savings will be realized if additional programs are certified each year and if already–certified programs are re–certified and continue to operate. ● An estimate of any other non–discretionary cost or savings imposed upon local agencies: none. ● An estimate of any cost or savings in federal funding to the state: none.

EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESS The Department has determined that there would be an effect on small businesses, because they will be legally required to comply with the regulation and may incur a detriment from the enforcement of the regulation.
