### sec.112 Process and other matters relating to making rules of racing
Before a control body may make rules of racing, the control body must prepare a draft of the rules (the draft rules ).
The draft rules must be given to the chief executive and the commission with a request for comments about the draft rules by a day stated in the request (the stated day ).
The stated day must be at least 28 days or more after the day of the request unless—
the control body is satisfied that, because of exceptional circumstances, it is necessary to make the rules of racing before 28 days after the day of the request; and
the request states—
the exceptional circumstances; and
a stated day for making comments that is earlier than the 28 days and the earlier day is reasonable given the stated exceptional circumstances.
If the chief executive or the commission gives the control body comments about the draft rules, the control body must reach agreement with the chief executive and the commission about the way in which the draft rules are to be changed.
The control body may make the rules of racing—
if there are no comments—after the stated day; or
otherwise—after agreement is reached as mentioned in subsection (4) .
