  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Section 104 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breed-
ing law, as amended by chapter 919 of the laws of 1986,  is  amended  to
read as follows:
  S  104.  Prohibition  of  wagering by certain officials, employees and
minors.  1.  No  member,  secretary,  deputy,  officer,  representative,
employee  or counsel of the board shall wager either upon the outcome of
any horse race conducted at a track  at  which  pari-mutuel  betting  is
conducted by any licensee or franchisee of the board.
  2.  No  association  or corporation which is licensed or franchised by
the board shall permit any person who is actually and  apparently  under
eighteen  years  of age to bet on a horse race conducted by it nor shall
such person be permitted to bet at an establishment of a regional corpo-
ration conducting off-track betting. ANY EMPLOYEE OF AN  ASSOCIATION  OR
CORPORATION WHICH IS LICENSED OR FRANCHISED BY THE BOARD THAT PERMITS OR
OFFERS  TO  PERMIT ANY PERSON WHO IS ACTUALLY AND APPARENTLY UNDER EIGH-
TEEN YEARS OF AGE TO BET ON A HORSE RACE CONDUCTED BY IT SHALL BE GUILTY

  3. No individual employed by an off-track  betting  corporation  as  a
pari-mutuel  clerk,  cashier  or seller shall be permitted to bet during
those periods of any day on which such person is  actually  employed  in
such capacity.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the first of November next succeed-
ing the date on which it shall have become a law.
