BILL NUMBER:S3792
Title of bill

Purpose
This bill would allow the transportation and possession of gambling devices under certain circumstances.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: Amends section 104 of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law by adding a new subdivision 21 to allow the transportation and possession of a gambling device for the purposes of exhibition, marketing, and product development.
Section 2: Amends section 225.30 of the Penal Law by adding a new subdivision e which provides that transportation and possession of a gambling device shall not be unlawful where such gambling device was transported into New York pursuant to paragraph 21 of section 104 of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law.
Section 3: Effective date.
Justification
Chapter 321 of the Laws of 2010 amended the penal law to affirmatively state that mere repair, assembly and/or transport of gambling devices is not a crime as long as it is for use in a lawful jurisdiction and not for unlawful use in New York. These provisions included transportation and possession of a slot machine for the purposes of product development. This legislation would expand the authorization to allow manufacturers to market and exhibit gambling devices in New York.
