2013-S3083 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S3083

TITLE  OF BILL:  An act to amend the executive law and the state finance
law, in relation to authorizing  municipal  governments  hosting  tribal
casinos  to  receive  payments  directly from Native American nations or
tribes

PURPOSE:  To authorize local governments that host Native American casi-
nos the option to receive payments  directly  from  an  Native  American
nation or tribe, rather than receiving such monies through the State.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section  1  adds two new subdivision d and e to §12 of the Executive Law
to allow that any municipal government that hosts a  tribal  casino  may
receive  payments  directly  from  a Native Americanization or tribe. It
further provides that any such payments made shall  be  deemed  to  have
been made in satisfaction of the tribal-state compact, and provides that
all  such  payments  axe to be deducted from the amount the municipality
would otherwise receive under SFL § 99-h. The bill  also  provides  that
any municipal government which receives payment pursuant to this section
shall  utilize  the funds received for purposes authorized under section
99-h of the state finance law, the same purposes which would  apply  had
the payment had been channeled through the state.

Section  2 amends subdivision 2 of State Finance Law § 99-h to authorize

the payments of casino monies under a tribal-state compact directly to a
host municipality.

Section 3 adds a new  subdivision  2-a  to  State  Finance  Law  §  99-h
requires  any  host community receiving funds pursuant to a tribal-state
compact directly from a Native American nation or tribe  to  inform  the
State  Comptroller of such payment within 7 days. It also makes it clear
that any such payments (1) satisfy the obligations of the Native  Ameri-
can  nation  or  tribe  under the state-nation compact, and (2) that any
such payments made directly by a Native American nation or  tribe  to  a
municipal  government shall be deducted from the amounts the state would
otherwise be required to pay the municipality under SFL 99-h.

Section 4 provides for an immediate effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:  The State of New York and the Seneca Nation  of  Indians
are  currently  in  a  dispute over the terms of the State-Nation gaming
compact. As a result, the Seneca Nation Tribal Council recently voted to
stop making payments to the state under the state-nation gaming compact,
claiming that the state has breached  the  agreement,  which  gives  the
Seneca  Nation  exclusive rights to operate gaming facilities in Western
New York.

Unfortunately, the municipalities hosting the  Seneca  Nation's  casinos
have  become  innocent  victims  of this dispute, since a portion of the

funds generated at those casinos ultimately  go  to  the  municipalities
that  host them. Those funds are being denied to the host municipalities
while New York State and the Seneca Nation try to resolve their  differ-
ences,  meaning  that  the local governments are not receiving necessary
funds that they are otherwise entitled to and desperately need in  these
difficult economic times.

This  legislation represents a compromise to avoid economic harm to host
communities. It authorizes a Native American nation or  tribe,  such  as
the  Seneca Nation of Indians, to pay host municipalities directly while
they work with New York State to resolve their differences.

Where a Native American nation or tribe makes direct payments to a  host
municipality,  the  bill  requires  the  host municipality to notify the
State Comptroller in order to ensure that the nation or  tribe  receives
credit  from  the  State for making such payments. It also provides that
any municipality receiving  direct  payments  would  have  such  amounts
deducted from the amounts they would otherwise be due from the State.

By  altering  state law to permit direct payments from a Native American
Casino to a host community, this legislation is intended to protect host
municipalities and the residents of  these  communities.  Its  enactment
into  law  will  ensure  that  they  do not suffer while the State and a
Native American nation or tribe resolve a dispute that the host  munici-
pality is not a party to.

This  compromise  will  protect the Western New York economy by ensuring
that payments due as a result of locally generated  casino  dollars  are
not  held up due to the inability of the state's leadership in Albany to
resolve their dispute over the terms of  the  gaming  compact  with  the
Seneca Nation of Indians.

LEGISLATIVE  HISTORY:    2011,2012:  S.866C/A.9284A  Referred to Finance
2010: S.8502 Referred to Rules

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:  None to the State. The  monies  that  will  go  to
local governments that host Native American casinos if this bill becomes
law are monies that they are otherwise entitled to receive under current
state law.

EFFECTIVE DATE:; Takes effect immediately upon enactment into law.

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the executive law and the state
finance law, in relation to authorizing municipal governments hosting
tribal casinos to receive payments directly from Native American
nations or tribes

PURPOSE:

To authorize local governments that host Native American casinos the
option to receive payments directly from an Native American nation or
tribe, rather than receiving such monies through the State.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 adds two new subdivisions (d) and (e) to § 12 of the
Executive Law to allow for any municipal government who hosts a tribal
casino to receive payments directly from a Native American nation or
tribe. It further provides that any such payments made shall be deemed
to have been made in satisfaction of the tribal-state compact, and
provides that all such payments are to be deducted from the amount the
municipality would otherwise receive under State Finance Law (SFL)
99-h. The bill also provides that any municipal government which
receives payment pursuant to this section shall utilize the funds
received for purposes authorized under section 99-h of the state
finance law, the same purposes which would apply had the payment had

been channeled through the state.

Section 2 amends subdivision 2 of State Finance Law § 99-h to
authorize the payments of casino monies under a tribal-state compact
directly to a host municipality.

Sections 3 and 4 add a new subdivision 2-a to SFL § 99-h, which
requires any host community receiving funds pursuant to a tribal-state
compact directly from a Native American nation or tribe to inform the
State Comptroller of such payment within 7 days. It also makes it
clear that any such payments (1) satisfy the obligations of the Native
American nation or tribe under the state-nation compact, and (2) that
any such payments made directly by a Native American nation or tribe
to a municipal government shall be deducted from the amounts the state
would otherwise be required to pay the municipality under SFL § 99-h.

Section 4 provides for an effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:

The State of New York and the Seneca Nation of Indians are currently
in a dispute over the terms of the State-Nation gaming compact. As a
result, the Seneca Nation Tribal Council recently voted to stop making
payments to the state under the state-nation gaming compact, claiming
that the state has breached the agreement, which gives the Seneca
Nation exclusive rights to operate gaming facilities in Western New
York.

Unfortunately, the municipalities hosting the Seneca Nation's casinos
have become innocent victims of this dispute, since a portion of the
funds generated at those casinos ultimately go to the municipalities


that host them. Those funds are being denied to the host
municipalities while New York State and the Seneca Nation try to
resolve their differences, meaning that the local governments are not
receiving necessary funds that they are otherwise entitled to and
desperately need in these difficult economic times.

This legislation represents a compromise to avoid economic harm to
host communities. It authorizes a Native American nation or tribe,
such as the Seneca Nation of Indians, to pay host municipalities
directly while they work with New York State to resolve their
differences.

Where a Native American nation or tribe makes direct payments to a
host municipality, the bill requires the host municipality to notify
the State Comptroller in order to ensure that the nation or tribe
receives credit from the State for making such payments. It also
provides that any municipality receiving direct payments would have
such amounts deducted from the amounts they would otherwise be due
from the State.

By altering state law to permit direct payments from a Native American
Casino to a host community, this legislation is intended to protect
host municipalities and the residents of these communities. Its
enactment into law will ensure that they do not suffer while the State
and a Native American nation or tribe resolve a dispute that the host
municipality is not a party to.

This compromise will protect the Western New York economy by ensuring
that payments due as a result of locally generated casino dollars are
not held up due to the inability of the state's leadership in Albany
to resolve their dispute over the terms of the gaming compact with the
Seneca Nation of Indians.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2011,2012: S.866C/A.9284A      Referred to Finance
2010:      S.8502              Referred to Rules

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the State. The monies that will go to local governments that
host Native American casinos if this bill becomes law are monies that
they are otherwise entitled to receive under current state law.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
section three of this act shall take effect on the same date as an
agreement between the Oneida Nation of New York and the state of New
York entered into on the sixteenth day of May, 2013 takes effect; and
provided, further, that the amendments to subdivision 2 of section
99-h of the state finance law, made by sections two and three of this
act, shall not affect the expiration and reversion of such section and
the provisions of section two or three of this act shall expire and be
deemed repealed therewith, when upon such date section four of this
act shall take effect.
