BILL NUMBER:S5200A

Title of bill

An act to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in relation to including the city of Syracuse in the capital district off track betting region

Purpose

This bill would include the city of Syracuse in the capital district off track betting region.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 - To amend the opening paragraph and paragraphs e and f of subdivision 1 of section 519 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, paragraph e as amended by chapter 260 of the laws of 1987 and paragraph f as amended by chapter 125 of the laws of 1997.

Section 2 - Effective date

Justification

It has been well documented that the City of Syracuse is experiencing severe fiscal difficulty due to the current economy, increased mandates and a shrinking tax base. This bill will provide the City Council with the option to have an OTB operation within the City of Syracuse. This option, if approved by the City, would provide an opportunity to receive additional revenues.
