Sec. 1. (a) A horsemen's association must register with the commission annually in order to be eligible to receive monies from permit holders pursuant to the provisions of IC 4-35-7-12. Unless otherwise directed by the commission, and except as provided in subsection (c), a horsemen's association shall file its registration (accompanied by all supporting materials required by this article) with the commission not later than September 1 of the year preceding the calendar year for which the funds are to be paid. Except as provided in subsection (c), the commission shall approve or deny a registration not later than December 31 of the year preceding the calendar year for which the funds are to be paid. The registration for an upcoming calendar year must be approved by the commission before a horsemen's association is entitled to receive any funds from permit holders as provided for by IC 4-35-7-12 and before permit holders may make payment to a particular horsemen's association. The registration of a horsemen's association for a calendar year becomes effective upon the approval of the commission, not upon the filing of the registration.

(b) The deadlines set forth in subsections (a) and (c) for the commission to approve or deny a registration shall not apply when more than one (1) horsemen's association registers to be eligible to receive the same source of funds specified in IC 4-35-7-12.

The commission shall approve or deny all such registrations as expeditiously as possible, but not later than December 31, 2008, unless subsection (b) applies or if there is a failure by a horsemen's association seeking approval of registration to timely provide information that may be requested by the commission.

(d) (c) If, at the time a permit holder is required to make a payment of funds to a horsemen's association pursuant to IC 4-35-7-12, either:
(1) the commission has not approved the registration of a horsemen's association otherwise eligible to receive the permit holder's payment; or
(2) for any other reason, no horsemen's association is eligible to receive the permit holder's payment;
then the permit holder shall pay the funds required to be paid under IC 4-35-7-12 into one (1) or more interest bearing escrow accounts established and maintained by the permit holder solely for the purpose of holding and distributing those funds as may be directed by the commission. When a horsemen's association becomes eligible to receive payments from a permit holder pursuant to IC 4-35-7-12 and this article, the commission shall immediately direct the release of the escrowed funds and all interest earned on those funds to the eligible horsemen's association, and the permit holder shall thereafter make payments to that horsemen's association in the manner provided by IC 4-35-7-12 and this article.
