(Albany, NY)-“New York has been preparing for this moment since as far back as 2013 and we have remained proactive in anticipation of this decision by the Court. The Senate Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee held a public hearing in January that brought together stakeholders from across the gaming spectrum to discuss this issue in depth. Since that time, I have introduced legislation that has passed committee and continued to have productive discussions regarding the issue. I am confident that working together with my colleagues in both the Senate and Assembly, we can have a bill ready for Governor’s signature by the end of the session.”
