On December 10, 2015, the Ontario Legislature passed legislation which
will transfer the regulatory responsibilities of the Ontario Racing
Commission (ORC) to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO)
and change the adjudication process for the appeal of horse racing
decisions in Ontario. In particular, the legislation will create a new
adjudicative body called the Horse Racing Appeal Panel (HRAP). The HRAP
will have responsibility for hearing appeals of decisions made under the
Rules of Racing. At the same time, the adjudicative responsibility for
matters dealing with proposed refusals, suspensions and revocations of
licences pursuant to Notices of Proposed Orders will be transferred to
the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT).
