        Introduced  by M. of A. PRETLOW -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Racing and Wagering
 
        AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation  to  requiring  a
          New York state legend on all bell jar tickets sold in New York state
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 195-n  of  the  general  municipal
     2  law,  as  amended by chapter 637 of the laws of 1999, is amended to read
     3  as follows:
     4    1. Distribution; manufacturers. (a) For  business  conducted  in  this
     5  state,  manufacturers  licensed  by  the  board to sell bell jar tickets
     6  shall [sell] : (i) only sell such tickets to  distributors  licensed  by
     7  the  board;  (ii)  only sell such tickets that have been approved by the
     8  board; and (iii) are imprinted with an approved legend prescribed by the
     9  board in a manner prescribed by the board. Bell  jar  tickets  that  are
    10  banded  single-sided single-tabbed, double-sided single-tabbed or folded
    11  bell jar tickets are excluded  from  the  approved  legend  requirement.
    12  Manufacturers  of  bell jar tickets, seal cards, merchandise boards, and
    13  coin boards may submit samples, artists' renderings, or  color  photoco-
    14  pies  of proposed bell jar tickets, seal cards, merchandise boards, coin
    15  boards, payout cards, and flares for review and approval by  the  board.
    16  Within  thirty  days  of  receipt of such sample or rendering, the board
    17  shall approve or deny such bell jar tickets.  Following  approval  of  a
    18  rendering  of  a  bell jar ticket, seal card, merchandise board, or coin
    19  board by the board, the manufacturer shall submit to the board a  sample
    20  of  the  printed  bell  jar  ticket,  seal card, merchandise board, coin
    21  board, payout card, and flare  for  such  game.  Such  sample  shall  be
    22  submitted  prior to the sale of the game to any licensed distributor for
    23  resale in this state. For coin boards and  merchandise  boards,  nothing
    24  herein  shall  require  the  submittal of actual coins or merchandise as
    25  part of the approval process. (b) Any licensed manufacturer  who  [will-

    12  follows:
    13    1.  Distribution; distributors. Any distributor licensed in accordance
