        Introduced  by M. of A. PRETLOW -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Racing and Wagering -- reported and referred to  the  Committee

        AN ACT to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and  breeding  law,  in

          relation to New York bred harness races
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. The  racing,  pari-mutuel  wagering  and  breeding  law  is
     2  amended by adding a new section 307-a to read as follows:
     3    §  307-a.  New York bred harness races. Any association or corporation
     4  licensed to conduct harness race meetings at which  pari-mutuel  betting
     5  is  permitted  may, if in its sole discretion such association or corpo-
     6  ration determines, that it would be beneficial to run  races  which  are
     7  limited  to  New  York  bred  horses. These races may be written on such
     8  terms and conditions as any other race authorized  pursuant  to  law  or

     9  regulation  of  the  board, notwithstanding any preference date require-
    10  ments. If in the opinion of the corporation  or  association  sufficient
    11  competition  cannot  be  had among such restricted class of horses, said
    12  race may be eliminated for said  day  and  a  substitute  race  provided
    13  instead.  The  board  shall  be  authorized to promulgate regulations to
    14  effectuate the intent of this section.
    15    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
