BILL NUMBER:S538 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to increasing the state aid an eligible city may receive from estimated net machine income generated by a video lottery gaming facility PURPOSE: The purpose of this legislation is to increase the revenue for certain local municipalities that host a Video Lottery Terminals (VLT) racetrack facility. This bill provides valuable revenue derived from the video lottery terminal formula, but paid by the state general fund, to support local school districts, such as the City of Yonkers. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Amends State Finance Law section 54-1 (2) to increase state aid to eligible cities that have VLT facilities from 3.5% of such revenue to 7% of such revenue based on the "estimated net machine income" generated by a video gaming facility located in such eligible city or forty million dollars, whichever is greater. JUSTIFICATION: The revenues generated from VLTs bring enormous benefits to the State of New York in the form of additional support for state education
