There is hereby created an interstate governmental entity to be known as the “Compact Committee,” which shall be comprised of 1 official from the racing commission or its equivalent in each party state who shall be appointed, serve and be subject to removal in accordance with the laws of the party state the official represents. Pursuant to the laws of the official’s party state, each official shall have the assistance of the official’s state’s racing commission or the equivalent thereof in considering issues related to licensing of participants in live racing and in fulfilling the official’s responsibilities as the representative from the official’s state to the Compact Committee.

If an official is unable to perform any duty in connection with the powers and duties of the Compact Committee, the racing commission or equivalent thereof from the official’s state shall designate another person as an alternate who shall serve in the official’s place and represent the party state as its official on the Compact Committee until that racing commission or equivalent thereof determines that the original representative official is able once again to perform the official’s duties as that party state’s representative official on the Compact Committee.

The designation of an alternate shall be communicated by the affected state’s racing commission or equivalent thereof to the Compact Committee as the committee’s bylaws may provide.

Delaware’s delegate shall be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, and shall serve until the delegate’s successor is confirmed.
