Article VII |
|
|
|
|
| The Legislature amends the Executive’s Article VII proposal to change the Video Lottery Terminal (VLT) Program at New York State Racetracks. | |
|
The Legislature approves a proposal to increase the hours of operation to 16 hours per day and provides that temporary facilities may be used for no longer than an 18-month period. |
|
|
In addition, the Legislature increases the amount dedicated to education to 61 percent, reduces the administrative set aside to 10 percent for the Lottery Division, provides the tracks with 29 percent to be shared with the breeders and to enhance purses, and provides that a sharing agreement may be made with the horsemen but sets a statutory structure if an agreement cannot be reached. |
|
|
The Legislature also establishes a Problem and Compulsive Gambling Education Prevention Fund. |
|
|
The Legislature provides an extension of the New York Racing Association franchise through December 31, 2013, contingent upon certification by the Lottery Division that VLTs are operational at the Aqueduct racetrack as of March 1, 2004. |
|
|
Additionally, the Legislature extends the current sunset provisions authorizing the operation of VLTs at certain racetracks to ten years from the first date of operation from the current sunset of December 31, 2007. |
