Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in relation to the creation of a local advisory board for the Belmont racetrack facility

Purpose or general idea of bill

This bill would create a new Local Advisory Board for the Belmont Racetrack.

Summary of specific provisions

Section 1 adds a new paragraph c to Sec. 212(6) of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law. The new Belmont advisory board would consist of 15 members including: four designees of the Town of Hempstead three of whom shall reside within the hamlet of Elmont, all of whom shall be subject to town board approval, four designees of the Mayor of Floral Park subject to village board approval, four designees of the Elmont Community Coalition of Civics, and three designees of NYRA.

Justification

A.9998 (signed by the Governor on 2/13/2008) requires the new NYRA Oversight Board to establish two new local advisory boards: one for Aqueduct and one for Saratoga. This legislation would provide equal input for the communities surrounding the Belmont racing facility.
