(a) Contemporaneously with filing an appeal from a stewards'
or judges' ruling, a licensee whose license is suspended by the ruling may
request a stay of the suspension. The executive secretary may grant a stay
of the suspension if the executive secretary determines granting the stay
is in the interest of justice. The executive secretary may set the term of
the stay and may extend a stay if circumstances warrant.
(b) The fact that a stay is granted is not a presumption that
the ruling by the stewards or racing judges is invalid.
(c) The executive secretary may rescind a stay granted under
this section if the executive secretary determines the reasons supporting
the original issuance of the stay are no longer valid.
