In addition, the same applies to financial side?

I am sure it doesn't happen, but are the rules clear on this?

Can anyone clarify this?

Surely rules vary state to state and I am not a lawyer but it would seem to be a violation of a persons civil rights to prohibit them from speaking with anyone. Like it or not these are not criminal offenses and there is really no way to stop a person from speaking to another. Monitoring any sanctions are virtually impossible regardless of what the rules are. When you sign your license there usually is a section that deals with credit check and financial responsibility but as far as being able to check records, I dont think that racing commissions have the power to do so.
