The National Racing Compact, which has facilitated a national license for racing participants, is on schedule to issue licenses in January 2001, and it expects that 16 states will recognize the license by next summer. Louisiana racing commissioner Jon McKinnie, executive director of the National Racing Compact, said the process of educating horsemen and horse owners has begun. Currently, members of the compact are Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, and West Virginia.
