   Section 1. Legislative findings. a. The legislature hereby finds  that
 the  2012-2013  New  York state budget amended the state constitution to
 allow for non-tribal  casino  gaming  in  New  York.  It  also  included
 provisions  to create a New York state gaming commission, as a result of
 the merger between the division of lottery and the racing  and  wagering
 board.  The  commission  is  charged  with  oversight of the division of
 lottery, the division of charitable gaming, the division of gaming,  and
 the  division of horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering. This legislative
 action consolidated the state's  gaming  regulatory  functions  under  a
 single oversight body.
   b.  The legislature further finds that the development of policies and
 procedures that foster responsible gaming practices by gaming facilities
 licensed  or enfranchised by the New York state gaming commission or its
 divisions is necessary to mitigate the risks or consequences  associated
 with  problem  gambling. The legislature concludes that this can be best
 accomplished by the creation of a task force on responsible gaming.
   § 2. Legislative task force on responsible gaming.  A legislative task
 force on responsible gaming is hereby established to:
   (a) Identify policies and programs that mitigate the risks and  conse-
 quences  associated  with  compulsive  gambling  and promote responsible
 gaming practices for all gaming activities authorized in New York state.
   (b) Recommend policies and procedures to be promulgated in regulations
 by the New York state gaming commission  and  its  divisions  to  ensure
