AN ACT to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in
relation to justification for consent to authorize the simulcasting of
horse races run at a regional track at off-track betting branch
offices
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subparagraph (ii) of paragraph c of subdivision 2 of
section 1008 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as
amended by chapter 18 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as
follows:
(ii) For any simulcasting facility located within an area of a circle
whose radius is forty miles, the center of which shall be measured from
a regional track, and as provided in section one thousand thirteen of
this [chapter] ARTICLE, the board shall not approve such application
unless such regional track, as described in subparagraph (i) OF THIS
PARAGRAPH, has given its written authorization, provided however, that
[between thirty-one and forty miles] such approval shall not be unrea-
sonably withheld. Such approval shall not be required if the simulcast-
ing facility is located without the forty mile radius or if the sending
track is a thoroughbred track in the Catskill region conducting a mixed
meeting. Such written authorization shall not be required nor shall the
provisions of section five hundred twenty-three of this chapter apply to
those races that such regional track may elect to receive as a simulcast
race during its regularly scheduled race meeting.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
