BILL NUMBER: A1468
 
SPONSOR: Conrad
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the economic development law, in relation to authorizing the department of economic development to give a preference to any tour- ist promotion agency that is promoting the sport of rugby   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill would require the Department of Economic Development to promote the game of Rugby within New York State. Authorizes the economic development to give a preference to any tourist promotion agency that is promoting the sport of Rugby.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: amends subdivision (a) of section 161 of the economic devel- opment law as amended by chapter 86 of the laws of 2022. The department seal give a preference to any tourist promotion agency that is promoting the sport of Cricket or the sport of Rugby   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE): Click here to enter text.   JUSTIFICATION: Rugby has been one of the fastest growing sports in New York, and with the recent inclusion of Rugby 7's in the Olympics that growth is only expected to continue. This bill will help to facilitate continued expansion of the game at both the youth and adult level while promoting the work being done in New York to grow the game to other communities. Thousands of New York students play the game at both the High School and Collegiate level, and the success of our current efforts can be seen in Western New York, as St. Bonaventure recently won the 2021 Division 1 National Collegiate Rugby championship. This bill will only help grow the game and promote further success of Rugby in New York State.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: None.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall have become a law; provide, however, that if section 2 of chapter 86 of the laws of 2022 shall not have taken effect on or before such date than this act shall take effect on the same date and in the same manner as such chapter of the laws of 2022 takes effect.
