 AN  ACT  to amend the tax law, in relation to the disposition of certain
   revenue with respect to debt incurred in the redevelopment project  at
   Belmont  Park  racetrack; and to authorize the New York Racing Associ-
   ation, Inc. to enter into a repayment agreement with the state of  New

   Section  1.  Legislative findings. The legislature finds that it is in
 the interests of the state to assist The New  York  Racing  Association,
 Inc., which is the franchised corporation pursuant to section 206 of the
 racing,  pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in obtaining the financ-
 ing the franchised corporation needs to  renovate  Belmont  Park.    The
 legislature  further  finds that the cost of this project is anticipated
 to be four hundred fifty-five million dollars and that the state has the
 ability to issue personal income tax or state sales tax bonds to  gener-
 ate such funds. The legislature further finds that authorizing access to
 this  financing  will  enable  The New York Racing Association, Inc.  to
 make a major investment in Nassau County  that  will  lead  to  new  job
 opportunities  and bolster the local economy, without spending any state
 dollars.
   § 2. Issuance of certain bonds or notes. 1. Subject to the  provisions
 of  chapter  59  of the laws of 2000, and consistent with any agreements
 and leases between the franchised  corporation  designated  pursuant  to
 section 206 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law and the
 people  of  the  state of New York acting by and through the state fran-
 chise oversight board, but notwithstanding the provisions of  any  other
 law,  rule,  or  regulation to the contrary, the dormitory authority and
 the  urban  development  corporation  are  hereby  authorized  to  issue
 personal  income  tax or state sales tax bonds in one or more series for
 the purpose of funding project costs for  the  Belmont  Racetrack  reno-
 vation  project  and other state costs associated with such project. The
