                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by M. of A. PRETLOW -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Racing and Wagering  --  committee  discharged,  bill  amended,
          ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee
 
        AN  ACT  to  amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in
          relation to New York bred or wholly owned harness races

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Section  307-a  of  the  racing, pari-mutuel wagering and
     2  breeding law, as added by chapter 258 of the laws of 2014, is amended to
     3  read as follows:
     4    § 307-a. New York bred or wholly owned harness races. (a) Any  associ-
     5  ation  or corporation licensed to conduct harness race meetings at which
     6  pari-mutuel betting is permitted may, if in  its  sole  discretion  such
     7  association  or  corporation  determines[,]  that it would be beneficial
     8  [to], [run] offer non-stakes races which are limited to  New  York  bred
     9  horses  or horses wholly owned by New York state residents.  These races
    10  may be written on such terms and conditions as any other race authorized
    11  pursuant to law or regulation [of the board] of the commission, notwith-
    12  standing any preference date requirements.
    13    (b) For each horse entered into a race that is limited to horses whol-
    14  ly owned by New York state residents, each owner shall provide  documen-
    15  tation  that  demonstrates that such horse is wholly owned by a New York
    16  state resident. Leased horses shall  not  be  eligible  for  such  races
    17  unless  both  the lessor and lessee are New York state residents. In the
    18  case of a horse owned by a corporation, all owners, officers, sharehold-
    19  ers, and directors shall meet the requirements of a New York state resi-
    20  dent; in the case of a horse owned by an association, all  owners  shall
    21  meet the requirements of a New York state resident.
    22    (c)  If  it is in the opinion of [the] such corporation or association
    23  licensed to conduct harness race meetings at which  pari-mutuel  betting
    24  is  permitted  that  sufficient  competition  cannot  be  had among such
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD04136-02-7

     1  restricted class of horses, said race may be eliminated for said day and
     2  a substitute race provided instead.
     3    (d)  The  [board]  commission  shall be authorized to promulgate regu-
     4  lations to effectuate the intent of this section.
     5    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
