BILL NUMBER: S7536

SPONSOR: ADDABBO
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in
relation to wagers on certain horse racing events and authorizing agree-
ments between a mobile sports wagering operator and an affiliate

 
PURPOSE:

To clarify the sports events on which wagering may be made and to
authorize mobile sports wagering operators to site kiosks at select
affiliate locations.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Amends section 1367 of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and
Breeding Law to add definitions of

* "horse racing events" to mean any event conducted in New York by a
licensed horse racing entity or an event that if conducted in New York

would require the entity to be licensed pursuant to the Racing, Pari-Mu-
tuel Wagering and Breeding Law.

* "affiliate" to mean a licensed off-track bettering corporation, a
professional sports stadium or arena, the franchised corporation or
other race tracks licensed pursuant to the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering
and Breeding Law, and the video lottery terminal facility operator
located at Aqueduct, to the extent that the entity maintains an agree-
ment with a licensed mobile sports wagering operator.

Section 2: Amends section 1367 of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and
Breeding Law definition of "prohibited sports event" to expressly
prohibit mobile sports wagering on horse racing events, unless the event
is offered pursuant to an agreement with the licensed horse racing enti-
ty.

Section 3: Amends section 1367-a of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and
Breeding Law to allow affiliates to enter into agreements with mobile
sports wagering operators to host kiosks at their affiliate facilities.

Section 4: Effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

In 2021, as part of the enacted budget, New York State authorized the
Gaming Commission to license mobile sports wagering operators. Those
licenses have since been awarded to entities that are going to be tasked
with offering gaming opportunities that will lead to the best financial
opportunities for the state of New York.  As the law is written, a
wagerer would not be able to place a fixed odds bet through a mobile
sports wagering operator on a horse race. This legislation would enable
mobile sports wagering providers to offer that opportunity, should they
so choose, but only if they enter into an agreement with the horse
racing content provider. Additionally, this legislation would create
additional opportunities for affiliated organizations to offer opportu-
nities to participate in this gaming activity. These changes are

expected to result in billions of dollars of tax revenue for the State
of New York.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day.
