LAC 35:I.1703. Perjury; Discipline

A. Perjury in racing is the intentional making of a false written or oral statement in, or for use in, any proceeding or hearing before the commission or the stewards, wherein the commission or the stewards are authorized to take testimony. In order to constitute perjury in racing, the false statement must be made under sanction of an oath or an equivalent affirmation, and must relate to matter material to the issue of question in controversy. It is a necessary element of the offense that the person making such statement knew it to be false, but an unqualified statement of that which a person does not know or does not definitely believe to be true is equivalent to a statement of that which he knows to be false. Whoever commits or attempts to commit bribery, corrupt influencing, the fraudulent entering of a horse, a fraudulent practice in racing, or perjury, all as defined above may have his license revoked, be fined or suspended or both, or be ruled off of any track under the jurisdiction of the commission or any one or more of the foregoing as appropriate.
