 Introduced  by M. of A. WOERNER -- read once and referred to the Commit-

 AN ACT to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and  breeding  law,  in
   relation to justification for consent to authorize the simulcasting of
   horse  races  run  at  a  regional  track  at off-track betting branch
   offices

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Subparagraph  (ii)  of  paragraph  c  of subdivision 2 of
 section 1008 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:
   (ii) For any simulcasting facility located within an area of a  circle
 whose  radius is forty miles, the center of which shall be measured from
 a regional track, and as provided in section one  thousand  thirteen  of
 this  [chapter]  ARTICLE,  the  board shall not approve such application
 unless such regional track, as described in  subparagraph  (i)  OF  THIS
 PARAGRAPH,  has  given its written authorization, provided however, that
 [between thirty-one and forty miles] such approval shall not  be  unrea-
 sonably  withheld. Such approval shall not be required if the simulcast-
 ing facility is located without the forty mile radius or if the  sending
 track  is a thoroughbred track in the Catskill region conducting a mixed
 meeting. Such written authorization shall not be required nor shall  the
 provisions of section five hundred twenty-three of this chapter apply to
 those races that such regional track may elect to receive as a simulcast
 race during its regularly scheduled race meeting.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
