  The  New York state gaming commission shall, as a condition of racing,

to  its  jurisdiction to withhold one percent of all purses, except that
for the franchised corporation, starting on September first,  two  thou-
sand  seven  and  continuing  through  August thirty-first, two thousand
[sixteen] SEVENTEEN, two percent of all purses shall be  withheld,  and,
in  the  case  of  the  franchised  corporation,  to pay such sum to the

mined  by  its  board of directors, annually include in its expenditures
for benevolence programs, funds to  support  an  organization  providing
services  necessary  to backstretch employees, and, in the case of every
other corporation, to  pay  such  one  percent  sum  of  purses  to  the
horsemen's  organization  or  its  successor  that was first entitled to
receive payments pursuant to this section in accordance  with  rules  of
the  commission  adopted  effective  May  twenty-third, nineteen hundred
eighty-six representing at least fifty-one percent  of  the  owners  and
