(a) Contemporaneously with filing an appeal from a stewards' or judges' ruling, a licensee whose license is suspended by the ruling may request a stay of the suspension. The executive secretary may grant a stay of the suspension if the executive secretary determines granting the stay is in the interest of justice. The executive secretary may set the term of the stay and may extend a stay if circumstances warrant.(b) The fact that a stay is granted is not a presumption that the ruling by the stewards or racing judges is invalid.(c) The executive secretary may rescind a stay granted under this section if the executive secretary determines the reasons supporting the original issuance of the stay are no longer valid.
