     3  of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows:
     4    2.  No corporation, association or person that holds a license, regis-
     5  tration, franchise, certificate or permit issued by the commission shall
     6  permit any person who is actually or apparently under  [eighteen]  twen-
     7  ty-one years of age to bet on gaming activity, as defined in subdivision
     8  five of section one hundred one of this article.
     9    §  2.  The opening paragraph of subdivision b of section 1617-a of the
    10  tax law, as amended by section 1 of part SS of chapter 60 of the laws of

    12    Such rules and regulations shall provide, as a condition of licensure,

    14  all state and local fire and safety codes, that no person who is actual-
    15  ly  and  apparently  under twenty-one years of age shall be permitted to
    16  participate in video lottery  gaming,  that  the  gaming  commission  is

    24  to  this section shall be deemed an approved activity for such racetrack

     7  commission from licensing an entity to operate video lottery  gaming  at
