BILL NUMBER: S7190 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in relation to improvement of operations in thoroughbred racing PURPOSE OF THE BILL : This bill would change the procedure for persons to act as temporary substitute stewards in Thoroughbred racing in the absence or inability to act of a steward appointed by the Gaming Commission or the failure or inability to appoint either of the other two stewards. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 of the bill would amend section 218 of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law to allow the Gaming Commission to designate a person to exercise the powers and duties of a Thoroughbred racing steward (racing official) if: (i) the appointed State steward is absent or unable to act; or (ii) there is a failure or inability to appoint either of the other two stewards (one of which is appointed by the Jockey Club and the other of which is appointed by the racetrack). Two technical revisions would change references from the former Racing and Wagering Board to the Gaming Commission. Section 2 of the bill would make it effective immediately.
