AN ACT to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and  breeding  law,  in
  relation  to extending the disposition of off-track pools state tax to
  Saratoga county

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  The  opening paragraph of subdivision 1 of section 527 of
the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, as amended by chapter
18 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows:
  The disposition of the retained commission from pools  resulting  from
regular,  multiple or exotic bets, as the case may be, whether placed on
races run within a region or  outside  a  region,  conducted  by  racing
corporations, harness racing associations or corporations, quarter horse
racing associations or corporations or races run outside the state shall
be governed by the tables in paragraphs a and b of this subdivision. The
rate  denominated  "state  tax" shall represent the rate of a reasonable
tax imposed upon the retained commission for the privilege of conducting
off-track pari-mutuel betting, which tax is hereby levied and  shall  be
payable  in the manner set forth in this section. Each off-track betting
corporation shall pay to the racing and wagering board as  a  regulatory
fee,  which fee is hereby levied, fifty hundredths of one percent of the
total daily pools of such corporation. Each corporation shall  also  pay
twenty  per  centum of the breaks derived from bets on harness races and
fifty per centum of the breaks derived from bets on all other  races  to
the  agriculture  and New York State horse breeding and development fund
and to the thoroughbred breeding and development fund, the total of such
payments to be apportioned fifty per centum to each such fund.  For  the
purposes  of  this  section, the New York city, Suffolk, Nassau, and the
Catskill regions shall constitute a single region and  any  thoroughbred

                                                           LBD09551-02-5

S. 4370                             2

track  located  within the Capital District region shall be deemed to be
within such single region. A "regional meeting" shall  refer  to  either
harness  or  thoroughbred  meetings,  or  both, except that a franchised
corporation  shall  not be a regional track for the purpose of receiving
distributions from bets on thoroughbred races conducted by  a  thorough-
bred  track in the Catskill region conducting a mixed meeting.  With the
exception of a harness racing association or corporation first  licensed
to  conduct pari-mutuel wagering at a track located in Tioga OR SARATOGA
county after January first, two thousand five, racing corporations first
licensed to conduct pari-mutuel racing  after  January  first,  nineteen
hundred  eighty-six or a harness racing association or corporation first
licensed to conduct pari-mutuel wagering at a track located  in  Genesee
County  after January first, two thousand five, and quarter horse tracks
shall not be "regional tracks"; if there is more than one harness  track
within  a region, such tracks shall evenly divide payments made pursuant
to the tables in paragraphs a and b of  this  subdivision  when  neither
track  is  running.  In  the event a track elects to reduce its retained
percentage from any or all of its pari-mutuel pools, the payments to the
track holding the race and the regional track required by  paragraphs  a
and  b  of  this  subdivision  shall  be  reduced  in proportion to such
reduction. Nothing in this section shall be construed to  authorize  the
conduct  of off-track betting contrary to the provisions of section five
hundred twenty-three of this article.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
