Newer Developments

Since the database and the web page went on line and members began to send in licensing and ruling data, several new developments have occurred.

  • Digital photo identification capabilities have been added to the database. To encourage members to adopt digital photography as a corollary to fingerprinting in the licensing process, each member has been provided a digital camera. These new cameras were shipped to the members early in 1998.

  • A Uniform Licensing Form has been developed and approved for adoption by the Board of Directors. The form was created by a committee with input from all member jurisdictions. This new form should soon be the basis for uniform licensing in all member jurisdictions. It is also possible for an applicant to complete the application electronically and submit licensing data to multiple jurisdictions at the same time.

  • An equine database to assist veterinarians, steward and racing secretaries in their duties.

  • Public Ruling Page which is a current listing of rulings from NAPRA member jurisdictions.

The association is also developing the following systems:

  • A steward & racing official accreditation program

  • A reliable sample collection and analysis program
