Licht was a Los Angeles lawyer who for 15 years had been representing jockeys, trainers, and other licensees^[1] in disputes with the CHRB, before Governor Gray Davis appointed him a racing commissioner in 2001.^[2] He served on the CHRB for three years and was elected chairman in November 2002.^[3] Licht is credited with accelerating the launch of Advanced Deposit Wagering (ADW) in California, a move that has since helped to increase fan interest in the state's horse racing industry.

In April 2005 Licht was named a member of Youbet.com's independent wagering compliance committee.
