BILL NUMBER:S6236
Title of bill
An act to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in relation to authorizing the payment of rebates on pari-mutuel wagers
Purpose
This bill is a chapter amendment to Chapter 472 of the Laws of 2013 which clearly authorized in law the ability of host racetracks, simulcast racetracks, and regional off-track betting corporations (OTBS) (regulated entities) to offer long term rebate and fan appreciation benefits to those racing fans who attend race meets, preferred customers and to volume bettors.
With the advice of the New York State Gaming Commission (Commission), this bill makes very technical changes to Chapter 472 which establishes a statutory framework to authorize the approval of such long term rebate programs and establish guidelines for the approval of such rebate programs by the Commission.
