Section 185 of the general municipal law, as amended by chapter 574 of the laws of 1978, is amended to read as follows: § 185. Short title; purpose of article. This article shall be known and may be cited as the games of chance licensing law. The legislature hereby declares that the raising of funds for the promotion of bona fide charitable, educational, scientific, health, religious and patriotic causes and undertakings, where the beneficiaries are undetermined, is in the public interest. It hereby finds that, as conducted prior to the enactment of this article, games of chance were the subject of exploita- tion by professional gamblers, promoters, and commercial interests, AND IT FINDS FURTHER THAT TOURNAMENTS OF THE VARIOUS GAMES OF POKER AS OFFERED BY AUTHORIZED ORGANIZATIONS PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION NINE OF ARTICLE ONE OF THE NEW YORK STATE CONSTITUTION, SHOULD BE REGULATED UNDER THIS ARTICLE. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the legislature that all phases of the supervision, licensing and regulation of games of chance and of the conduct of games of chance, should be closely controlled and that the laws and regulations pertain- ing thereto should be strictly construed and rigidly enforced; that the conduct of the game and all attendant activities should be so regulated and adequate controls so instituted as to discourage commercialization of gambling in all its forms, including the rental of commercial prem- ises for games of chance, and to ensure a maximum availability of the net proceeds of games of chance exclusively for application to the worthy causes and undertakings specified herein; that the only justi- EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
