BILL NUMBER: S1974

SPONSOR: ADDABBO
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in
relation to establishing the commission on retired racehorses

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of the commission is to monitor the whereabouts and treat-
ment of retired racehorses to further prevent the illegal transport of
horses into the inhumane international slaughter industry.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1. The racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law is amended
by adding a new article 7A.

Section 2. Effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Horses have played a significant role in the history and culture of the
United States; more specifically, horses in the racing industry have
generated billions of dollars for the state of New York.'

Despite what they may have contributed, many horses at a young age which
are no longer profitable or affordable for the owner wind up in interna-
tional slaughterhouses to be inhumanely slaughtered for consumption
abroad where horse meat is a major delicacy. In addition to horse
slaughter being a huge breach in proper and ethical treatment of
animals, this serves as a significant food safety issue for humans
considering that the majority of horses are administered drugs and medi-
cations that are not meant for any animal intended for human consump-
tion.

This legislation will implement a commission with the intention to
ensure the proper treatment of the horses following their racing career
and to further prevent the illegal transport of horses to slaughterhous-
es.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2017: S6910 - REFERRED TO SENATE RULES
2018: S6910 - REFERRED TO RACING, GAMING & WAGERING

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it
shall have become a law.

BILL NUMBER: S1974B

SPONSOR: ADDABBO
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in
relation to establishing the commission on retired racehorses

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of the commission is to monitor the whereabouts and treat-
ment of retired racehorses to further prevent the illegal transport of
horses into the inhumane international slaughter industry.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1. The racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law is amended
by adding a new article 7A.

Section 2. Effective date.

 
SUMMARY: OF AMENDMENTS:

Amendments were made to clarify reporting requirements, the responsibil-
ities of owners to report to the database of retired racehorses, and to
establish an effective date of April 1, 2021.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Horses have played a significant role in the history and culture of the
United States; more specifically, horses in the racing industry have
generated billions of dollars for the state of New York.  Despite what
they may have contributed, many horses at a young age which are no long-
er profitable or affordable for the owner wind up in international
slaughterhouses to be inhumanely slaughtered for consumption abroad
where horse meat is a major delicacy. In addition to horse slaughter
being a huge breach in proper and ethical treatment of animals, this
serves as a significant food safety issue for humans considering that
the majority of horses are administered drugs and medications that are
not meant for any animal intended for human consumption.  This legis-
lation will implement a commission with the intention to ensure the
proper treatment of the horses following their racing career and to
further prevent the illegal transport of horses to slaughterhouses.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2017: S. 6910 - Referred to Senate Rules.

2018: S. 6910 - Referred to Senate, Racing, Gaming and Wagering Commit-
tee.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it
shall have become law.
