A09206 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
 submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)

 
BILL NUMBER: A9206
 
SPONSOR: Pretlow (MS)

 
TITLE OF BILL:
 
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to video lottery gaming in the
counties of Suffolk and Nassau; and to repeal certain provisions of such
law relating thereto
 
 
PURPOSE:
 
This bill repeals the provisions of law relating to the use of video
lottery gaming in Suffolk and Nassau counties; specifically revoking the
authorization for those two counties to establish video lottery gaming
at OTB sites, and removing references thereto from the tax law.
 
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
 

§ 1. Paragraph 4 of subdivision a of section 1617-a of the tax law is
Repealed.
 
§ 2. Clause (G-1) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph 1 of subdivision b
of section 1612 of tax law is Repealed.
 
§ 3. Subparagraph (iii) of paragraph 1 of subdivision b of section 1612
of the tax law, as separately amended by chapters 174 and 175 of the
laws of 2013 is amended.
 
§ 4. Paragraph 2 of subdivision b of section 1612 of the tax law, as
amended by section 1 of part oo of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014 is
amended.
 
§ 5. Subdivision f-1 of section 1612 of the tax law is Repealed.
 
§ 6. States that the act shall take effect immediately
 
 
JUSTIFICATION:
 
Current trends have seen a downslide in gambling sales. Both state
lottery sales and race track casinos have seen a decline in revenue.
The addition of Video Lottery Gaming at OTB sites in Suffolk and Nassau
counties is an unnecessary expansion of gambling, and will have negative

fiscal and social effects on these communities, rather than a risk-free
source of revenue. The lure of easy money from 2000 Video Lottery Gaming
terminals in Suffolk and Nassau counties (1000 each), will permanently
alter the character of Long Island communities, and expanded gambling-
related social problems that will far outweigh expected revenues.
 
 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
 
New bill.
 
 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
