                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by M. of A. CYMBROWITZ, ORTIZ -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of
          A. BARRETT, BENEDETTO, COOK, CRESPO,  ENGLEBRIGHT,  GALEF,  GOTTFRIED,
          JAFFEE,  LUPARDO,  TITUS -- read once and referred to the Committee on

        AN ACT in relation to establishing the legislative task force on respon-
          sible gaming
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Legislative findings. a. The legislature hereby finds  that
     2  the  2012-2013  New  York state budget amended the state constitution to
     3  allow for non-tribal  casino  gaming  in  New  York.  It  also  included
     4  provisions  to create a New York state gaming commission, as a result of
     5  the merger between the division of lottery and the racing  and  wagering
     6  board.  The  commission  is  charged  with  oversight of the division of
     7  lottery, the division of charitable gaming, the division of gaming,  and
     8  the  division of horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering. This legislative
     9  action consolidated the state's  gaming  regulatory  functions  under  a
    10  single oversight body.
    11    b.  The legislature further finds that the development of policies and
    12  procedures that foster responsible gaming practices by gaming facilities
    13  licensed  or enfranchised by the New York state gaming commission or its
    14  divisions is necessary to mitigate the risks or consequences  associated
    15  with  problem  gambling. The legislature concludes that this can be best
    16  accomplished by the creation of a task force on responsible gaming.
    17    § 2. Legislative task force on responsible gaming.  A legislative task
    18  force on responsible gaming is hereby established to:
    19    (a) Identify policies and programs that mitigate the risks and  conse-
    20  quences  associated  with  compulsive  gambling  and promote responsible
    21  gaming practices for all gaming activities authorized in New York state.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD06783-02-9

        A. 3477--A                          2
 
     1    (b) Recommend policies and procedures to be promulgated in regulations
     2  by the New York state gaming commission  and  its  divisions  to  ensure
     3  responsible  gaming  in  all facilities licensed or enfranchised by such
     4  commission or divisions.
     5    (c)  Recommend a structure by which all responsible gaming regulations
     6  promulgated by the  commission  or  its  divisions  shall  be  enforced,
     7  including  but  not  limited  to  penalties for violations of regulatory
     8  standards and corrective action.
     9    (d) Identifying methods to measure effectiveness  of  any  responsible
    10  gaming procedures implemented.
    11    (e)  Identify and recommend provisions necessary to ensure responsible
    12  gaming practices to be  included  in  enabling  legislation  authorizing
    13  casino style gaming facilities in New York state.
    14    §  3.  Composition.  The  task  force shall consist of eleven members.
