Summary of Louisiana Workers Compensation Program

Effective July 1st. 2006
Each Trainer who starts a horse at any Louisiana Racing Facility is required to open a
“Workers Compensation Account,” with the “LAHBPA” prior to starting their
horse or horses in the State of Louisiana.

The “LAHBPA” Workers Compensation Program has a premium rate of 10%
of estimated annual payroll in the Racing Industry, but will be collected on a per
start basis. The Farm industry will be billed on the traditional percentage of payroll.

Members of the program are responsible for keeping their work list current at all times, as well as
reporting their payroll quarterly to the field office and are also expected to address safety issues in and around the barn area with their employees. The LAHBPA has also implemented a mandatory Drug & Alcohol Testing Program for each and every accident that has been reported by an employee. If you are found to have drugs or alcohol in your system at the time of the accident, you will receive no benefits from Worker’s Comp.

This is an “All States Policy” and can be transferable upon agreement with the “LAHBPA”. With the exception of the
following monopolistic states (ND, OH, WV, WA, WY).

Application Process:
The first phase of the program is designed to sign up Quarter Horse &
Thoroughbred Trainers stabled at Race Tracks & Training Centers in
Louisiana. Applications will be provided via “Field Reps, Field Offices, Bookkeepers Office,
Mail Outs, Newsletters, and can be downloaded from the LAHBPA Web site. (lahbpa@lahbpa.com)

Qualifications:
Thoroughbred & Quarter Horse Owners and Trainers that have acquired a Louisiana State Racing Commission License and are domiciled in Louisiana.

Payment Method:

Trainers who are stabled at Louisiana Race Tracks and Training Centers will pay premiums on a per start fee, instead of the traditional percent of payroll. There is a minimum non-refundable deposit of $1,200.00, also known as a Minimum Payroll Premium more than 50% less than the current rate of $2,300, due on July 1st. 2006 to advance to your workers compensation account. Each time a member starts a horse, a $55.00 fee will be DEDUCTED from the $1,200.00. As starts increase and funds have diminished, you are responsible for funding your accounts at $55.00 per horse, per start, as needed. Members will be responsible for depositing a non-refundable $1,200.00 in their Workers Compensation account each and every fiscal year on July 1.

Please keep your account fully funded to avoid delays and scratches of your horses.

Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred Farms will be charged at a rate of 10% of their estimated annual payroll on the onset of the program. Members are required to pay 25% of their yearly premium estimate at the time of issuance, with the remainder of the premium to be paid quarterly.
Farms will be billed directly each quarter by the HBPA.

We would like all members that have Thoroughbred & Quarter Horse Farms to forward their
Applications, Estimated Payrolls, and Payments to the LAHBPA main office.
