Bill > A06457

This bill extends the provisions of a previous law related to the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund by changing the expiration date from fourteen to seventeen years after the commencement of video lottery terminal (VLT) operations at Aqueduct racetrack. The bill essentially prolongs the legal framework governing the thoroughbred breeding and development fund for an additional three years, ensuring continued support for the horse breeding industry in New York State. The legislation requires the chair of the fund to notify the legislative bill drafting commission when VLT operations begin at Aqueduct, which helps maintain an accurate database of state laws. The bill also authorizes and directs the preparation of any necessary rules or regulations to implement the changes immediately upon the law's effective date, ensuring a smooth transition and continued operational support for the thoroughbred breeding program.
