Any person who is licensed to conduct a horse racing meeting at any place, track or inclosure which is leased by him from the state, shall not transfer any such property to any other person, whether licensed under this chapter or not, for the purpose of furnishing such other person a place, track or inclosure at which it may conduct a horse racing meeting, unless such transfer is first submitted to the Department of General Services and the department finds that its terms and provisions are just and reasonable and approves of it.
As used in this section, “transfer” includes any sublease, permit to use, license to use, and any other transaction or arrangement of any kind or nature whereby any right to the use or possession of property, or any part thereof, for the purpose of conducting a horse racing meeting is conferred upon any person.
The provisions of this section which are applicable to a person licensed under this chapter to conduct a horse racing meeting shall also apply to any person to whom a transfer is made by such a licensee in accordance with this section.
