(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, an association may have telecommunication systems on the premises during a race meeting for the benefit of the public press or for transacting ordinary business.
(b) The telecommunication systems may not be used to transmit money or other things of value, or to direct the placing of an illegal wager on the result of a race.
(c) A portable telephone, transmitter, or other instrument of communication that can be used for transmitting messages off association grounds is subject to confiscation by security personnel or by an employee of the Commission if it is being used for bookmaking, other illegal activity or a purpose inconsistent with maintaining the integrity of racing and pari-mutuel wagering.
