   Examinations shall be held at such times and places as may be
   determined by the Commission. Notice of the times and places of the
   examinations shall be given as determined by the Commission. The
   Commission shall prepare both written and oral examinations to be
   taken by persons applying for qualification as stewards, requesting
   and taking into consideration suggestions from representatives of
   horsemen, organization licensees, stewards, and other interested and
   knowledgeable groups. The written examinations may be administered by
   members of the Commission staff. Oral examinations shall be conducted
   by an oral examination panel to include at least two Commission
   members.
   
   B. The Commission may examine any person who:
   
   1. has not been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude or of a
   felony; and
   
   2. has completed an accredited senior high school or its equivalent;
   and
   
   3. has been given a physical examination by a licensed physician
   within sixty (60) days prior to the date of application for the
   steward's examination, indicating at least 20-20 vision or vision
   corrected to at least 20-20, and normal hearing ability; and
   
   4. has one of the following:
   
   a. at least five (5) years of experience in the pari-mutuel horse
   racing industry as a licensed trainer, or jockey.
   
   b. at least ten (10) years of experience in the pari-mutuel horse
   racing industry as a licensed owner whose experience, knowledge,
   ability, and integrity relative to the industry are known to the
   Commission.
   
   c. at least three (3) years of experience as a licensed racing
   official, racing secretary, assistant racing secretary, or director of
   racing.
   
   d. experience in the horse racing industry of a character and for a
   length of time sufficient, in the opinion of the Commission, to be
   substantially equivalent to the requirements of subparagraphs a, b, or
   c of this paragraph.
   
   5. A steward shall have the same restrictions and qualifications as a
   member of the Commission as listed in Section 202.
   
   C. For the purpose of paragraph 4 of subsection B of this section, one
   (1) year of experience shall mean at least one hundred (100) days
   actually worked within one (1) calendar year. An original license for
   a steward issued pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Horse
   Racing Act shall be issued for a period of the calendar year in which
   it is issued, and shall be renewable for a period not to exceed three
   (3) years, which the Commission may establish by regulation. The
   Commission may establish a license fee schedule consistent with the
   different periods for which such licenses may be granted. The license
   shall be valid at all race meetings in this state during the period
   for which it is issued, unless it is suspended or revoked prior to the
   expiration of such period.
