Go to top STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 5785 2011-2012 Regular Sessions IN ASSEMBLY February 28, 2011 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. ABBATE -- read once and referred to the Committee on Governmental Employees AN ACT to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in relation to provision of health insurance and supplemental benefits to retirees of the New York city off track betting corporation The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The state of New York has an interest 2 in the welfare of its citizens, and the general welfare of its senior 3 citizens is a matter of great public concern to the state of New York. 4 On December 7, 2010, the New York City Off Track Betting Corporation, a 5 public benefits corporation created in 1973 pursuant to article VI of 6 the racing, pari-mutual wagering and breeding law ceased operations. The 7 legislature finds that, since its inception, New York City Off Track 8 Betting provided the state of New York with significant revenues to 9 support government operations. The legislature further finds that after 10 the governor of the state of New York issued an executive order to allow 11 the New York City Off Track Betting Corporation to file for bankruptcy 12 pursuant to Chapter 9 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the unions 13 representing the employees of NYCOTB worked tirelessly to assist the 14 corporation in its restructuring efforts, including two collective 15 bargaining agreements wherein the employees made significant conces- 16 sions, including voluntary separation from the corporation, in order to 17 save the corporation and assist their fellow employees. 18 The legislature further finds that employees retired from the corpo- 19 ration, after having received the assurance that they and their depen- 20 dants would receive health insurance and supplemental benefit coverage 21 under their collective bargaining representative's welfare benefit 22 program. After the closure of New York City Off Track Betting, those 23 benefits ceased. EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD09353-01-1A. 5785 2 1 The legislature further finds that cessation of these benefits to 2 public employees who have devoted their working lives to service of a 3 New York state public benefits corporation works a great injustice and a 4 severe hardship to the retirees and their dependants, thereby putting 5 their health and very lives in danger. 6 The legislature further finds that by honoring the commitment to 7 provide health insurance and supplemental benefits to retirees of New 8 York City Off Track Betting, the state reaffirms its commitment to amel- 9 iorate the deleterious impact which the closure of New York City Off 10 Track Betting has had upon the citizens of the state of New York. 11 § 2. Subdivision 4 of section 606 of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering 12 and breeding law, as amended by chapter 115 of the laws of 2008, is 13 amended to read as follows: 14 4. All [employees and officers] present and future retirees of the 15 corporation in classes or positions whose incumbents, in equivalent 16 classes or positions of the city, are eligible, as of the effective date 17 hereof, to participate in, and receive benefits from any city authorized 18 health insurance or welfare benefit program, shall be eligible to 19 participate in, and receive benefits from any such health insurance or 20 welfare benefit program; provided, however, that the [corporation] state 21 shall reimburse the city or its designee for the actual cost of benefits 22 under this subdivision. 23 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
